Telluride Spottings - Post em

[Jcf]

Well here in Colorado a lot of people put on snow tires in the winter. It’s cheaper and easier if they are already on the wheels so you don’t have to pay to Mount each tire. Not sure it has much to do with the color, for me anyways.

Help me understand the thought behind switching away from black rims in winter. Never had them on a car, and can’t tell if it’s because they’re more prone to scratches or something else, but I hear a lot of people here saying they’d switch them in winter.

Running boards is a must. Makes it look soo much more premium.

To me only if you have short legs.

Has nothing to do with functionality for me. It’s all about appearance. And while I recognize that it’s subjective, in my opinion it makes it look more premium.

I’ve had my Telly for a week now —yet I still get excited spotting other Telly’s in the wild. Hasn’t gotten old yet.

Saw this White S yesterday while getting food

What percent did you get?

I'm not sure, I told them to match the back windows.

 

[Julian0328]

Nice, what %? Taking ours in Tuesday to get the fronts done.

Seem to be seeing a lot of Nightfall Editions here lately. Guess KIA is getting their money's worth with the new package instead of filling customer orders.
Saw a white one Thursday and a black one today both on the same road, Rt. 70 Garner NC.

Tell them to just match the back windows unless you want something lighter, but it looks way better if you have them match!

Appreciate it. Thats what I asked for and I totally agree looks better. Its just a pita for inspection. In my old state new vehicles were exempt from inspections for 5 years after purchase, not here.

We don’t have many out here, so this is a very rare find.

On our way to pick ours up and look what is sitting in the Atlanta airport.

Georgia...home of the Telluride! Guess they are proud of it...as they should be.

Couldn’t tell which exact trim but I assume it’s an EX b/c there were no fog lights.

According to the Kia.com build section, the EX with the Nighfall package is supposed to have LED Fog lights, but "nightfall edition". Guess that means blacked out fog lights?

That Dark Moss is gorgeous. Such an iconic color.

When I finally get mine, running boards is a must - I don't really need them but my much shorter wife will. Even if she didn't "need" then, I just think they add some upscale feel to the car.

The EX doesn’t come with fog lights in the nightfall edition or premium package. They are a $450 option however. If you added them to the EX nightfall edition, hopefully they would black them out, but I don’t know how you would actually request that.

Definitely beginning to see a little more Telly out here in the Bay Area. Going out for a few hours, I'm noticing that I see 1-2 somewhat regularly which is easily more than what I used to see. It also probably helps that I'm looking for them anytime I'm out lol

A white EX is the first flavor of the day

I've only noticed a couple Tellys here in Albuquerque, but now I'll be looking for them more diligently

I've spotted more in the middle of nowhere than in urban areas. Saw one in Philipsburg MT with CO plates and passed one in Salome AZ waiting to turn across my lane of traffic. They are much easier to spot when not in a crowd of other cars. I have not seen any in the SLC area when I have passed through 5 times in the last 3-4 months and they have many Kia dealers in the greater metro area.
