Similar reasoning may explain why more folks went with the Telluride vs. Palisade--where I live I've seen more Tellurides than Palisades on the roads. Actually I had been thinking about buying a Telluride but once I saw the dealer markups and long waits for ordering one in the trim I desired I changed my mind...and then the EV6 came long. Don't have one yet as it's still sitting in Port Hueneme (Ventura CA) as of 2/23.
