Now That I have learned how to track cargo ships and almost become a armchair expert on the EV6. I was wondering on the US first edition, does the Reservation Number correlate to which # Car 1-1500

I also have a US FE on reservation. Speaking of questions, my thing is that all almost all the videos I see on Youtube are GT-line cars. I have almost no idea what the green interior fabric, which was the only choice with white exterior, will look like. I have no idea what the sunroof will look like. I have no idea what or if the car will have interior LED ambient lights. There are almost no interior shots of non-GT-line cars at all on the web and no pics at all that I could find of the FE specifically.

Why doesn't the site say anything for those who want to reserve the GT Line?
The first edition cars are just that, they will not be offered for sale once they are sold out. When the standard cars are out, they will have the normal designations common to KIA vehicles. LX, EX, S, GT line and GT. There will be no need to pre-order, you can just go to the dealer, pick one out test drive and purchase. It may seem like these new EVs have some sort of special ordering process but they do not. It’s just a way to build hype around the launch, while offering some features that are normally on the upper (GT or SX-L from the Optima line or Stinger GT2) trim vehicles.

Those in the know realize the price and options will be less than the GT but with the options you would only get on the GT. Things like cooled front seats, heated rear seat as and steering wheel, surround view cameras and the blind spot cameras. Those are normally reserved for the top trim vehicles, knowing KIA, there will probably be an EV6 GT, GT1 and GT2. The price for the top trip will probably in the $60K+ region, before incentives.

I think our (American) Forst Edition is essentially equivalent to the GT Line S trim.

Dealer is asking for a premium over MSRP for EV6-FE. Any recommendation on how not to pay the premium. Not sure if paying premium is worth it as it washes the federal tax credits. Also are there any other Kia incentives for buying the EV6-FE (e.g. APR, competitive discounts, graduate, etc)
