Did they mention having to place a new order for a 2023 since it is not apples to apples from 2022 to 2023? That is what I was told when I picked up a cancelation a couple of weeks ago.
How do you know when one of their “coming soon” vehicles is actually your car? Forgive my ignorance…this is rocket science for me.
If you were told with an ETA, it means your order had been picked up by Kia and most likely you will get MY22.
No, but the woman I spoke to rushed off the phone and hung up while I was mid sentence. TBH, I really don't care, I just want my car and praying my 12 year old mini van holds on until my Telluride comes in.
I suggest reaching out to your sales person via phone or email to find if you have to place a new order for a 2023 in the coming weeks.
Wow! I ordered the exact same vehicle (with black interior) on 10/5 from Kia of Columbia (Missouri) and got a call 5/17 that it had finally been picked up, ETA 7/15. Called dealership yesterday and ETA has moved to 8/5. Hasn't shown up on Failcat yet.I just joined the forum today to find out the answer to the question, "is anyone waiting longer than my wife and I have?" Obviously a few, but not many. Replying to you because you ordered from dealers in the Minneapolis-St. Paul metro area, which is where we live. Ordered our Gravity Gray SX AWD P/T on September 12, 2021 from Luther Kia Bloomington. Original due date, May 8. Then moved to May 11. Then May 18. Then, as you described, got the "have to inspect 'em all at the rail yard for hail damage" message. Then due date moved to June 8. Now today it has moved to June 22.
VIN hit failcat on March 29. So as of today we're 9 months and 2 days into it. Far as I can tell, Luther Bloomington is a reasonably high-volume dealer as they had 25 Tellurides hit Failcat so far in the first half of June, and nearly 40 in March (the month ours showed up). They have a total of 67 pages of VINs currently in on the site.
So I guess my question is this.......... What the hell?
I'll hang up and listen.
It's crazy, right?!. I know it's a great vehicle. Not perfect by any means, but great nonetheless. However, this has been by far the most absurd car purchase I have ever been a part of. And I have bought a lot of cars over the years, including more than a few factory orders.
Thank you. I will. When we paid our deposit and filled out our paperwork, he did mention that the order can "change" depending on when it's picked up by Kia. But I'll give him a call in the next week or so and check in.
I paid MSRP for both of these Tellurides with no dealer ad ons and a 125 doc fee
From what I heard they are trying to move 1000's of vehicles and are moving the ones on the front first. The railroad yard is used for all the different manufacturers so your car might just be behind other cars which is why its taking a while. Luther is good dealer and did not find them to play any games at all. You will get your vehicle!I just joined the forum today to find out the answer to the question, "is anyone waiting longer than my wife and I have?" Obviously a few, but not many.

It is very common for it to change days or even a week or 2. Don't bank on it until you get the call from the dealer telling you that its arrived.
I paid msrp plus 199.00 Dealer Admin. Free and 31.25 title fee.
I brought it back with bugs and bird poop. I’m afraid to wash it so I cleaned it with paper towels and water. Haha. Also, if your dealer put their logo on the back remove it right away while it’s still freshly stuck on. 
Paper towels are one of the worst things to use on paint. Get some microfiber cloths at the very least. If you don't want to fully wash the car, microfiber with quick detail spray will take off bugs/bird poop. Paper towels will scratch clear coat.Picked up my telluride yesterday. It was worth the wait let me tell you. I drove it on the highway this morning with cruise control and that thing practically drove itself. Haha. I’m in love!
Good thing I paid extra for that paint protection then.
