That is what I bought for my wife. It is beautiful. The light color interior makes you feel like you are in a luxury vehicle. We originally went to a dealership in town and place an order but after waiting 6 months I found one up in the bay area and paid extra to have it. No regrets. If I can go back in time I would have found a KIA dealership that turned over a lot of vehicles because from what I have learned on this forum is the larger the dealership the faster the build order is made. The dealership I ordered from had maybe 2 Tellurides at any given time. They told me 4 to 12 weeks. Found out they have no idea just like many other dealerships similar.

If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my SUV" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your leather interior, please post in the Interior section - and so on...

I ordered a gravity grey/ grey EX with absolutely nothing extra on 11/23. VIN issued 1/31 and dealer expects on 2/17. So just under three months. This dealer is in SC and has been receiving vehicles about 10 days after the VIN is posted so it may arrive a few days early. They told me 3-4 months when I put down the deposit and it will be just a few days less than that.

May I ask...did you pay MSRP or lower from Fort Bend? Also did you pay original price based on the time you ordered or the increased price that went into effect this year?
In Washington State it's about 7 months on an SX or SXP. Less than three months on everything else.

Read the same thing so got a print out of confirmation screen the dealer got upon putting in the order. I ordered at Fairfax Kia which seems pretty decent and does a lot of orders, which can be good and bad for me I guess. They're the only dealer around DC area that isn't charging the crazy "market adjustment fee", which is good because I refuse to pay thousands of dollars over MSRP.
I paid MSRP based on the original price when I ordered based on the signed purchase sheet. I had to leave a $500 refundable deposit at the time of order.
The window sticker (75107 I believe?) reflects the price at the time of order, so it looks like Kia did not pass on price increase to all orders prior to 2020 - maybe it's only unsold allocations after 1/3.

Yeah, my guy at dealership said it should be 3 months, likely more like 4 from what he is seeing. However, he also said he couldn't guarantee anything on timing b/c in a lot of ways they are in the dark like we are until a VIN gets created. So at least he was very transparent about it. That being said, seemed like that dealership does a lot of Telluride orders b/c they're only dealer around DC area I found that isn't charging like $8K over MSRP when they do get one. So hopefully that will help.

Same here, old price honored: order placed 11/13, Kia accepted 12/18, VIN Created 1/31
My order was allocated in late January. The exact build that I did is now listed on the VIN site and it shows a price increase. It must be if it was allocated by the increase date.

Apparently having a reference number is not enough. Ordered our SXP w/tow 16 weeks ago (tomorrow) with a $500 deposit. On Monday we received a text from a sales manager stating that we do not have an order with them. I can only surmise the order was placed in Kdealer (since a reference number was generated TX117191024J001) but it was never put in KFOS. We are devastated!

Yes, and we ordered through the Costco Auto Program. Costco referred us to Parkway Family Kia as the nearest participating dealer. (I regret finding this forum a few days after placing the order or I would definitely have ordered through you!)

Telluride—Proving u can’t always get what you want
It’s my understanding the dealer can’t put your order into KFOS until they can match it with an allocation. But that doesn’t mean you don’t have an order. Is that true, @Jason Fox?

What's the reason on not having a order for you? Also... Don't feel bad. This is a daily occurrence. You are not alone! I know that does not make things better but lot of people going through same thing.

We were told a previous sales manager never ordered it. Getting conflicting information from our sales rep and 2 different sales managers.

Sounds like BS. Since you have the order number what are they saying about it?
You wrote in a prior post that you saw your VIN on 1/29 and were given an ETA of 2/16? Was that your vehicle? If so, that would be quick turnaround, but possible. Now they are saying that you don't have an order? Sounds like they are trying to renege in order to sell with a markup - since markups are still prevalent. They have instructions to sell to the buyer on the order - so call Kia directly and raise heck. Having an order number will help.
If that wasn't your 1/29 VIN, then it's possible your order was cancelled in the system if they weren't following directions with KFOS allocations.
