FWIW, I ordered a week ago and was told I would most likely be getting a 2022 (4-6 month estimate)..I think the factory transitions over around July for 2022s.

Just noticed on Failcat that no VINs were created for Everlasting Silver or Gravity Gray with Dune Brown since 3/20. Hoping that changes next week.
I'm waiting to see one with Gravity Grey/ Dune myself
Hi all, I posted a few weeks ago about the order I placed on 2/28 for an EX-P/AWD/Glacial White Pearl/Black. The dealer (in Norwood, MA) had said my order would take 3 months at the latest. I have been tracking the inventory at my dealer online and saw multiple vehicles matching my order appear. It took several calls to the dealer, but they ended up confirming that one was available and I was able to purchase it. The dealer had said that they checked incoming vehicles for the next month before I placed my order, but I'm not sure that is entirely true. My take home message is to keep an eye on dealer inventory if your order was something they didn't have at the time - it's possible it may come in! I'm now in my new Telly sooner than I would have been and am in love!
I don’t believe the order was ever picked up because I hadn’t heard anything from the dealer and the three matching VINs that showed up in Failcat since the time of my order had added accessories. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that they didn’t reach out to me since I was locked in with my deposit. They just assured me that nothing even close to my order would be coming in anytime soon, so it’s hard to believe that these just “showed up” in their inventory. You definitely have to be your own advocate in this process.Has the appearance that they preferred to sell the matche(s) to your order at a more profitable rate, instead of an existing order.
Was your order ever picked up in KFOS by the factory?

Exciting day for you. And all of us here will be waiting for some pictures.............Put a deposit down 9/17, just arrived at the dealer today (Hilltop Kia)!
As I've looked through all of these Posts, I don't see any "orders" for the way I did it. I live in Las Vegas (Henderson) and went to my KIA Dealership on March 13th to place an order. Instead they showed me a list of the Telluride's that they were already allocated for the next couple months (approx. 15) and let me pick one that was not already spoken for. I got exactly what I wanted and the VIN was created on Friday (3/26) and it has an ETA of April 27th. So my wait time will be 6 weeks. Are other Dealerships not offering this?
Ask Stephen to run the VIN & include your Initials.I placed my order/deposit 3-29 and, what I believe to be my order, showed up on Malfunction Feline (FC) 3-30 .... is that possible that is will get delivered fairly quickly then??? or am i just getting my hopes up... i had very specific accessories which makes me think that it is mine...
$3500 OverAre you getting it for MSRP? Every Vegas dealer I spoke with was charging thousands over.
Now, call your salesperson and ask if that Telluride/VIN coming in is spoken for.
