Ended up ordering BMW, because even though the X5 is much more luxurious/badass/cool/wow factor than Telluride, it cost not so much more due to stupid dealer's markup on KIA cars. I had choice:
1.Telluride, MSRP + $10,000 dealer markup due to high demand, lol
2.X5 45e, -10% MSRP, -$7,500 EV Tax credit.
My choice was obvious, lol.
Yeah, a buddy of mine just tried to buy a Telluride and got the same deal. He went around the corner to the Hyundai dealer and bought a Palisade, which is the same vehicle with worse looks but actually MORE features and higher level of fit and finish. Kia dealer wanted a markup, Hyundai dealer got a discount.

Paying an ADM on any volume production car = lunacy. Paying ADM on a freaking Kia is just trying to get yourself elected to the Stupidity Hall of Fame.
