    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my SUV" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your leather interior, please post in the Interior section - and so on...

I ordered my Telluride today. I was so happy. They are saying 4 months for delivery. No problem I thought, I’m a patient man. Then the transmission goes out in the car I was planning on trading in. It’s been 12 years since I’ve had a new car. Please let my Telluride get here fast.

Wow, that’s the quickest build I have ever heard! Hopefully, KIA finally caught up...

No way possible it could be built that fast. Especially an SX. KIA is not caught up. More than likely they had one in the pipeline coming to the dealership that matched.

I got lucky with the selection I made(model /color) and it was the time to go down the line. Others more in likely won't be that lucky.

I understand the manufactured date. All the ones being delivered have relatively fresh build dates. Like I said it is more than likely the dealer had one inbound and not spoken for. That is how you got it so quickly.
 
Not from what they stated and from the way the managers were surprised I'm thinking I just got lucky. But you never know with dealers...

Congrats on your order, I’ll pray for a Speedy delivery but based on what I’m hearing and seeing. People are waiting 4-6 months.

People have been ordering and canceling and re-ordering with other dealerships. Jason works for one of the top selling Kia dealerships in the Midwest for Tellurides. It’s more conceivable and highly probable that a customer cancelled their order which happen to be the same model, color, trim and leather you ordered. The dealerships have orders in but orders can change and because of this there not always made aware. When the truck came it was unexpected by them and you which is why everyone was so surprised. It’s impossible that your vehicle was built in 8 days and delivered 10 days later with the demand as high as it is. Either way your very blessed to have received your Telly with no real wait time. Their people who are still waiting 4-6 months patiently and graciously. Congratulations on your Telly and enjoy the ride.
 
Is that SX with the prestige pkg, because then I'd be like everyone and have some doubts, heard those are experiencing extreme supply shortages of the Nappa Leather which is a reason those builds are taking so long. I put an order in for an EX AWD w/ Tow Pkg late August, word from dealer is probably be in around early November. Really wanted to add the skid plate option but after me and the dealer doing research we couldn't find any thing and they suggested adding it could delay the car indefinitely, rather just order it and get the skid plates once it hits the accessories book later.

Non prestige, non towing, no optional equipment
 
Ordered a Snow White Pearl SX with Prestige, towing and some options on 9/7. I have checked in a couple of times. Still waiting for any info, build date, VIN, anything. They said 3 months minimum. So I am not surprised just trying to be patient.
