Order to delivery time

Funny we chose not to go with prestige bc of the younger kids, thought the tan color would hold up with some seat protectors. Figured it'd be wasted with baby seats and spills on the nappa and ventilated captains chairs. Wanted the dark headliner too and didn't trust the kids or dog enough with the prestige headliner. Would like the HUD but we'll survive without it. Maybe next go around, Wolf gray and red leather interior! Lol

Kids are the main reason we didn't go with prestige also. We have a toddler and an infant. They'll be in car seats for a while so the second row heating and ventilation will be a waste of money lol. The HUD would be nice but i've never had one so I'll be ok without it haha
 
Just saw one the other day - up close and personal at a dealership.

It looked very nice.
I saw one too at the dealership. I flipped flopped on my color choice because of it. It looks very sweet in person. I originally placed an order for Everlasting Silver then Covid hit and Kia wasn’t accepting new orders. So during the wait, I saw the Gravity Grey and liked it so much I switched ( again before orders were being accepted). Then when I received the call from the GM to confirm my order before he placed it, I went with my gut and flipped back to Everlasting Silver. I would be happy with either color, but Silver seems to always look clean, even when it’s not.
 
Really? I've probably seen a couple dozen. I saw a S and an EX on the road on the same outing a couple days ago. I've probably only seen 2 or 3 black copper but otherwise I've probably seen at least a dozen of every color. You must not get out much!
The one color that has eluded me is the Everlasting silver. Only photos.

Yes, it deserved a double meme :D
 
I’m going into the dealer to place my order for an SXP tomorrow. Finally after a year and a half I’m pulling the trigger...
 
Finally got her home tonight!! Ordered last week of December 2019 took delivery today. So worth the wait and aggravation with everything else along the way

Thanks for the photos and congrats! The butterscotch is so sweet looking with the black contrast and faux wood paneling! Is this FWD or AWD? What accessories did you get? I ordered SX non-prestige for the same reasons you mentioned. Tow or no tow? Yes, yes, more pics please...

Lol. Thanks everyone! We got AWD and only a rear bumper protector from the factory. No tow required so didnt order it. Opted to get aftermarket floor liners and looking at getting some oem mud guards off ebay or something. The tan colored seats with black interior and faux wood is pretty impressive in person. Glad we went with it for sure!!

My wife tried to talk me out of upgrading to get the HUD as she doesn't have one on her Odyssey. My car has one and let me tell you - once you have it - you never want to have another car without it. It was a must for me. So glad KIA offered it on the Telluride. Every car should have one imho.

I agree 100%. HUD was the deciding Factor when I compared vehicles. My wife and I test drove BMW, GMC, Acura and the Telluride all with HUD. I would not consider any vehicle that didn’t have it. I was very close to buying the RDX for about the same amount of money and I hope I made the right choice in ordering a T, only time will tell. Manufacturers are not Consistent on what models they offer it on. You can’t get HUD on a Acadia Denali GMC but you can on the SLT. Denali is supposedly the top of the line but no HUD?
 
love the data @MarcinTexas Keep it coming!
@Tobstertx3 i see you ordered 6/1 but it only got into KFOS in August. I thought KFOS opens at the same time each month...were you just deep in the line at your dealer?

We’re planning on living on the edge with GG and grey leather interior. A couple other parents on here gave us confidence that it will work with our 2 y/o and 4 y/o, and I just love the dark and light contrast. Do like the butterscotch as well.

KFOS was not open in June. KFOS opened in July with very limited allocation based on Trim. From what I believe some dealers only had 1 or 2, while others had none, compared to this month which is the biggest allocation so far for some dealers.

From the info I received when I ordered, I did not expect to be entered in KFOS until July or Aug. Expecting an early November delivery which will be 5 months from ordering.

May God have mercy on your Telluride. Ha
The gray interior is really luxurious looking with the prestige imo but I couldn't. If I was the primary driver I'd get it too, but I'm not so we didn't. Had it in an older Acura and was nice.

I also got GG with grey interior. Got a 4 year old and 7 week old. Fingers crossed 🤞

Same with Ford. Their $60K Explorer Platinum and ST don't have the option of a HUD - but the Aviator does...built on the same platform, same factory. Anything over $50K should have a HUD these days standard. Below that price - it should be optional. It is a safety issue as far as I am concerned.

What is the HUD? Is it just the camera for left and right signals?
