Order to delivery time

Ordered my vehicle earlier in the month but hasnt gotten picked up in KFOS yet. Got a call from another dealer today saying he got dealer allocated what i was looking for and it will be in next month. I put a deposit on the car but he said he doesnt have a VIN yet. Is that odd not to have a VIN for something you should be getting in less than a month? I checked failcat and don't see the car in there for the dealer either. Hopefully this actually comes thru.

Not sure if it works the same for dealer orders but if it does then it sounds totally normal. It would get picked up in KFOS but Vin wouldn't be available for another month. My order was picked up in June and it just showed up in Failcat this week.
 
My ETA changed today by 3 days to 9/6/2021
 
Wondering if people can start posting when they ordered and when they received their Kia (or at least the vin).

I ordered an sx prestige with tow on March 13. Nothing yet.

Many of the threads here have gotten hare to follow woth with the side conversations, it would be helpful to just keep this to dates for people’s reference.
I ordered my Telluride on 03/22/21 I was told a few weeks ago that the estimated delivery date is 8/02/21

quick question, how much of a difference does it make what you order? I ordered EX AWD with no add ons, does that mean I am more or less likely to get mine in sooner than the other packages? or does it even matter?
 
I was called on 7/10 (during KFOS being open) and told Kia confirmed the build. Does that likely mean order accepted by KFOS? Was told this on 7/10 and no updates since.

In case someone was doing research like me and could not find any information about this specific location here, I ordered a Telluride SX-P GW with black interior napa on june 16th 2021 from Kia Quebec in Quebec city Canada, was quoted 6 to 8 weeks, found this forum and seen people waiting for way longer so I was anxious about timeline as I wanted to put my other vehicule into storage for winters from now on and needed the Telluride before then as it will be the car I will be driving in winter. just received the vin and ETA of august 5th, maybe this information will help some people near that area! I have not test drive or seen it in person, it will be a surprise, wishing for a good one.

I ordered a 2021 night sky black copper in Ottawa at the beginning of June and still don’t have a VIN! I’m in a similar situation with my current vehicle so hoping to get a VIN soon

I ordered mine (EX premium with tow package and roof rail cross bars) on May 2, and received it July 14th. It came in as a 2022 model.
 
How long after your order was picked up by Kia did the vin take to show up on failcat?
 
Ordered my telluride in June, and just got the call that it’s been delivered. Picking it up tomorrow! So excited.

Holy smokes, that is the fastest turnaround I've heard of by far. I ordered an SX two days before you but am not counting on it before October. Congrats!

I seriously think it was all luck and timing with the MY changeover and Kia pulling more orders last month than usual. And also ordering an S and not SX. Thank you!

I am in a similar situation, ordered EX AWD with no add ons and waiting. I am still not convinced but the dealer mentioned that Kia manufactures Tellurides and assigns those to dealers who have those requirements matched based on some algorithm. I wish that is not true.

same here. I ordered EX AWD with the tow and premium package July 5th. But I ordered in Sangria w/grey interior (which I saw in another post that Sangria is a low selling color) now I'm worried my build is going to take much longer. I haven't gotten the word the order was accepted yet. I'm at the end of my lease so I hope to find out soon what the eta is. I wonder if I should change the color to something else.

I ordered an SX AWD w/tow in Sangria and my dealer gave absolutely no indication that my color choice would impact how long it would take to get the car. I was told 3-5 months and I’m still told that. In fact, they say 5 months is on the extremely long end. He did say the more “stuff” I added to the build could add to the time, but never the color. So I stuck to the Sangria. I have a copy of the printout from Kdealer showing the order was input and accepted, a lot more than other people have. So I am confident there.

OH I haven't received the word it was accepted yet.:oops: I was told 2 weeks for that and it's been 3 so I guess I'm just anxious. I never ordered a car before. I was told 3-4 months for delivery from the get-go so I was somewhat aware. I found a black copper EX (not the color I want) at a dealership 30 min away & would have bought it but they wanted $10K over msrp, plus the dealer "extras" & tried to tell me payoff on my car was 3K more than it really is. Not paying over msrp. I'm crazy but not that crazy! I went to another dealer. I'm selling my lease outright but don't want to too soon and be w/o a car for 4 months.

I liked this dealer too because I also paid MSRP plus $399 for a window tint which in Texas is a must. Then $399 for the actual custom order. So $798 total. I thought that was absolutely fair considering what other dealers were charging and only 3-5 months? Done!!!
