Order to delivery time

Got the call yesterday. My Telly has arrived! Dark Moss EX FWD ordered on 11/30, ETA was for 2/22, then revised to 2/15 then 2/9 and arrived at the dealership on 2/6. VIN generated on 1/29. Kia must have really upped the production in the new year for it to arrive so soon. Also, I saw no EX non-premium produced in the first half of Jan, but they produced a bunch of them (based on the VIN lookup tool) in the last week of Jan and first week of Feb, so looks like they make them in batches.

Hope the wait ends for you guys soon as well! Picking up my Telly today.
What dealership did you order/buy from? Enjoy your new Telluride 👍👍
 
Tried the site like you sent, would not load the page, waited half hour no luck. seems like a lot of work going through this to get what you need. Why do we need a salesman if we are doing all the leg work. Thinking about Luther Kia or just going back to Ford.
again, thanks for the help you are very gracious.
Just saw this... but for some users, you need to click the "mobile" tab to view. I think it was primarily iPhone users.
 
Ordered a Gravity Grey SX AWD with Prestige package and Grey Nappa Leather interior yesterday, 2/8. Was told it would be 3-4 months for delivery of vehicle. Is that about what other people are experiencing? Super excited, going to be a long wait.

Make sure you have a order number. Many people have ordered and waited only to find out there was no order placed.

I have a SXP DarkMoss/Dune with towing etc on order since Nov. Was told by the reseller GM, it was being built Jan 27th, but still today, 2 weeks later, I can't see any VIN for it? Is this normal or any idea what's going on? I am in central Florida, so hope transport won't take that much time when it finally ships. Thx

From my understanding, vin is created then it is built.

Hope so, I think a lot depends on the dealer you placed an order with and how many allocations they get for SXP along with how many ahead of you. Not uncommon for folks to be looking at 6-8 months for SXP's from what I've been told by several dealers I've spoken with over the past few days/weeks.

Then it wasn't built on Jan 27th. Ask for a screenshot from KDealer with order.

I was told similar by sales person but when I ask specific they cannot tell me. I just talk to the general manager now. He said not scheduled to be allocated until May. I ordered on November 15th.

I don't even think they know that yet. Unless he is guessing at how many in front of you and about how many they see a month.

Allocated in the May batch would mean you are not going to see your car till likely August if the 2-2.5 months from the time it's picked up holds true. 9-10 months is crazy.

Was the one you posted about previously not yours?

Reply nope there were lay-off at a company in town and when I went to talk to manager they said they had a cancellation on 1 that matched close but different color and no tow package that was due in 2/23. He asked if I wanted that one. I took it because when I ordered the said February or early March. I couldn’t wait until May or June so I said Yes.

Wasatch Front Kia in Ogden, Utah. Very smooth transaction so far.
I'm very happy with the dealership
