Ploky.....I ordered my S-trim in Grey with black interior and 7 seats in mid-April. I just got it on Wednesday, May 29th.

I had all of the same questions you did, however, I made sure I got the answers I wanted, in writing (even if it was just a text), before I placed the order. The dealer agreed to my OTD price no matter what happened to the incentives, and, if they were even better I would have gotten the better price. Also, in CT the prices are only going up. The dealer incentive I got was about $1250, today it's about $300. That's a $1000 difference in 5 weeks. I spoke with the finance guy at my dealer, and he simply said yes, and that it's all about supply and demand. They can't keep them on the lot. In fact, he said that last week one actually did make it to the lot and sold in 1 day.

I have a sx on order for over 8 weeks and no build date in sight I have also looked at the Hyundai Palisade it even has same motor It might be easer to get the Hyundai
I'm wondering how you know there isn't a "build date" - The only updates I get are from my SA. We ordered the S on 4.22, estimated delivery is beginning of July - When we ordered we were told minimum of 8 weeks and I don't think the "S" is in as high of demand as the "SX"

The latest automotive news shows no more incentive money only low interest financing

No, everything Military, Competitor, Loyalty, and finance cash has been extended through to 7/1/19.. You'll probably see them show up on the site in a couple more days. They are always slow on getting them reposted.

Great news as the automotive news publication didn’t indicate any incentive monies for the Telluride thanks

Ordered White SX Prestige AWD/tow on March 30. Initially was told it would be 30 days. The next week Kia told the dealer 60-90 days. A couple of weeks ago dealer checked and was told to expect it first week of June. I'm now past the 60 day mark. Following up today and will report.

My order was placed March 7 2019 and my vehicle has An ETA of June 5, 2019 which is 90 days

Ordered on March 23rd and my SXP arrived today. Dark Moss with tow. Unfortunately, the carrier backed the car into a truck while unloading and cracked the rear taillight housing. Unbelievable! No paint damage. Told new taillight is on order with an expected install to occur Friday. Demanded they remove that dealer sticker too! The wait continues...though she's almost home.

The good thing is that it’s very minor and no damages to the paint.
