I called my dealer as well, no word as of yet either... yes I’m trying to be patient, I’m just so excited! I’m got Copper Black as well and Dune Napa Leather..

Several of us out here... it's going to be a great combo. The dune nappa was great in person on the one we test drove. I currently have a black w/ brown interior car, and it pops really nice. While I haven't seen a Black Copper in person, the pictures I've seen and the color chips we took out into the sun at the dealer were amazing.

I'm Moss with Dune. The one I test drove had the Dune and I fell in love as well. Never in my life did I think I would be doing a non-black interior until I saw it in person.

Moss w/ Dune will be really nice. Was really surprised at the level of quality in the materials for the price point. Alcantara/suede like headliner, quality of the seating surfaces, etc.
 
We ordered the Dune as well

Dune is the only way to go! I wanted everlasting silver, since you could only get it in black, I had to pass!
 
Agree. We definitely got out of our comfort zone on this one. Kind of glad actually, the less wilnter days of snow and ice the better.

My first non black interior as well. Sight unseen for us. It just made since with the color.
 
@StephenCantrelle Can you or anyone else please help me understand this text from my dealer? I ordered 8/28 and haven’t been given any ETA since ordering (when I asked they say they don’t have one). This to me sounded like Kia has just confirmed by order months later but doesn’t necessarily mean it’s being produced or will be soon.

See this post in case you are interested. It appears to be EX FWD though.

 
Hi Foks,

I am new to the forum and last week ordered an SXP Moss with Dune Brown Interior and tow package. I am getting information on the ordering process and understand there are two systems:
1) the older system of weekly ordering based on allocation and mfg runs
2) the newer system called KFOF (forward ordering) system which is more direct ordering (my guess)

Do any of you or dealers have information on the KFOF system Vs the older system? My understanding is the all dealers get allocations each month based on sales volume and that determines the number of cars they get allocated for ordering each month in the KFOF system.

Your question was answered today.

Thanks for that info. I didn't believe him that's why i'm still waiting for my order.

Here is the latest information based on your post yesterday.

 
See this thread for a whole discussion. The answer is possibly. More than likely yes.


@jw_tx21 Is the spreadsheet with Prestige and VINs posted on this site? I may have some numbers to contribute.

Many thanks! I'm this kind of nerd. I've been collecting every Monroney sticker I've come across from Kia's web service... 🤫

Nice to seem I'm in good company here.
 
Today I was perusing the website checking on new posts, went my spouse walked in the room and asked "Where is your Telluride right now?" Since it is supposed to be in route. I told her I don't know.
Why don't I know! Each individual vehicle has a vin with window sticker barcode. Inventory management systems track their goods from the manufacturer to the seller. I am sure KIA knows where their inventory is at all times.
Should that detail knowledge be passed on to buyers? I think so, since there are 60-70 day delays between vin creation/build to actual delivery. If nothing else it would inspire confident in buyers that their vehicles are coming in this chaotic climate of KIA deliveries. Dealers please respond if you have this knowledge and why you don't pass it on to buyers.

On its way to Hawaii! That's potentially a long trip... dealers don't have detailed information, unfortunately. Ask Kia why they don't pass it along. You are lucky that you'll get it by Februrary... having "ordered" in November - well attaching yourself to an incoming unit. It's on its way...
 
Just got this screenshot back from the dealer. Mine is last in the list with ETA of 2/22. What does status 'FA' mean? What about the other codes?
