Update 2022 Tellurides 06-07 *great job Kia

Any idea when KFOS will open for June? Or did the weekly allocations that happened this past week negate KFOS for this month?
Up in the air... don't know yet but if I had to guess the allocations from kdealer will negate KFOS since it was so large(volume)

I'm just surprised the website hasn't been updated with 22 info/pricing/logos yet, since you can no longer order a 21.

Also, since there was no KFOS opening in May, it makes sense they're picking up more in June. I'm hoping this is part of their intent to increase production to at least attempt to catch up to demand.
 
Got today allocation for 2022’s. Not only are they coming quick some are already built and hitting my store in 2 weeks.

Great news for those thinking we are months away.

this is last update posting on 2022’s as crossover is now complete.
Hey, Stephen. I placed an order on 3/24. My sales consultant told me that it's in "the portal" but hasn't yet been picked up by the factory. His understanding is that it therefore doesn't need to be re-entered as a 2022 order and will automatically get picked up as that. Is that correct or is my dealership missing something? Thanks a lot for any insight you can offer.
 
Hi @aaroneast, How long is the wait time for SX Glacial white pearl with Dunn Brown Interior. No additional packages, just wheel locks and all weather mats.

Check with him again today and see if you are in the KFOS allocation that opened today. Kia just opened our monthly allocation through KFOS. If you aren't ask him how many spots away in line are you from being entered

Not sure if this sounds good....but I am number 6 for SX AWD. My dealer earned 3 units. 2 EX FWD and 1 S AWD. The 2 EX will be regular dealer orders. The 1 S AWD is a sold order. They do have 1 supplemental which they requested it to be a SX AWD. Said will know for sure on Wednesday what they got.

Any thoughts @StephenCantrelle ? I hate to ask as I know you are swamped on here....but will be sure to donate

I’m 50th in line at my dealership. They’ve already had 10 accepted by Kia. Does this mean my order won’t be accepted this month?

Depends on the dealer.

You mentioned they added all accessories. Is the rear entertainment system package back available again?

Yes showing as of today
 
So I just talked to my dealer and he said they just fulfilled 10 orders on Monday, and that hopefully mine will be in the next batch. So does this mean next month at the earliest? Does kfos only give a dealer an allotment once a month? Thank you

Actually went to the dealership the other day to look at one and ended up purchasing a 2022 that is on the delivery list in 10-14 days. Looking forward to having one of the first two that touchdown in this part of SC! Now...only question is does anyone have any pictures of the 2022 model ext/int??? Dealership didn’t have any and can’t seem to find any online. Would love to know what the vehicle looks like that we just dropped 50k on 😳

I'm not a dealer, but I don't think there is any interior or exterior difference from the 2021 except logo change. So what's on the Kia website of gallery pictures should be what you are getting. Looks exactly like the 2021 and 2020 MY.

I am trying to get the interior lighting kit on my SX Prestige. My dealer showed me the order sheet from kdealer and it wasn't included. When I inquired, I was told that "the 64 color lighting kit is a standard feature on the 2022 SX Prestige". I am thinking he may confusing the mood lighting for the package I want. I saw no mention of this in the 2022 updates posted here. Can anyone (@StephenCantrelle) confirm/deny? Thanks!

Thanks Kao! For the most part I agree with ya. We were informed that there are some minor tweaks on the body (emblem, headlights to name a couple) which I’ve also read on a few site reviews. And then the interior had a few more substantial ‘upgrades’ to the EX and SX models. Unfortunately though until the formal release date there doesn’t seem to be any pics which would be awesome. Kinda like buying a house before a showing 🥴🤣

The $450 accessory Interior lighting kit (16 colors, cupholders/floor) ≠ the standard SX ambient lighting (64 colors, strips on dash and doors). See here for a comparison.
