Their Telluride is one of the hottest selling SUVs, it's pretty difficult to buy. Hyundai/Kia seem to be on a tear right now with their newer vehicles.

- Flemlord 4y agoI just bought a Telluride on Monday and love it. It is the highest ranked car on Consumer Reports across all vehicle types. I don't think this is an indicator of a company in trouble. My last 3 cars were Teslas.
- Gunnerhead 4y agoDo you still have a Tesla too or got rid of it? Why? If you don't mind me asking, of course.
- SkyPuncher 4y agoI've had a Palisade for 2 years (same car basically). Extremely happy with it. The lane centering is fantastic for high way driving.
- skellera 4y agoAre you happier with it than your teslas?
- 2143 4y ago> My last 3 cars were Teslas. You bought 3 Teslas back to back?! You must really love it. Why did you then move to the Telluride? I thought Tesla lasts really long. So why 3?
- thebigman433 4y agoCant speak for the OP, but they mightve been leasing them on year long terms
- 2143 4y agoAh got it. Leasing is virtually not done where I'm from, so it didn't cross my mind.
- Carioca 4y agoMight be a case of the opposite, having hired too much talent and not having enough things to put them onto
- Retric 4y agoThe Telluride’s US sales only hit 93,705 in 2021 well below Honda Pilot at 143,062 and their both dwarfed by 407,739 for the RAV4.
- mox1 4y agoThat’s because they projected to sell like 50k. Also different car markets / segments (small, midsized vs large suv)
- Retric 4y agoPilot’s length, width, and height are within an inch of each other that seems like the same size category to me. 2022 Telluride is 196.9“ X 78.3” X 68.9” 2022 Honda Pilot is 196.5” X 78.6” X 70.6” and a slightly more expensive MSRP. The RAV4 is noticeably smaller and cheaper, but still an SUV and seemed like a useful benchmark. PS: They sold 75,129 in 2020, and 58,604 in 2019, so I don’t think they expected it to tank to 50k in 2021. Still probably supply limited in 2021 but so was just about every car company.
- linsomniac 4y agoThe RAV4 is a behemoth, having sold over 10 million over the years. Yes, the RAV4 is a benchmark to compare the Telluride to, but they ARE in both different cost brackets and categories. Pilot seems to be a better benchmark. Another useful benchmark is that for 2021, Toyota global sales were almost 9.6M, Kia was almost 2.8M. Honda Pilot is a Midsize Crossover SUV, like the Telluride, and had 2021 sales of 143K in the US. Honda global sales were 4.5M in 2021. So the Telluride can still be a success for Kia, while selling a fraction of the units of the RAV4
