update_post_meta not working in save_post

A little late, but I just had this issue where adding a taxonomy term was working, but adding post meta wasn’t. The solution was to set a higher priority. The default priority is 10, so try for instance priority of 100:

add_action( 'save_post_dealer', 'save_dealer_long_lat', 100, 1);
