Actual behavior

sites in this tenant instance."}}
Steps to reproduce behavior
Connect-PnPOnline -Url "https://XXXnam.sharepoint.com" -Credentials $cred;
New-PnPSite -Type TeamSite -Title "Save to Delete" -Alias "XXXSV009" -Wait -PreferredDataLocation NAM;

Connect-PnPOnline -Url "https://XXXdefault.sharepoint.com" -Credentials $cred;
New-PnPSite -Type TeamSite -Title "Save to Delete" -Alias "XXXSV009" -Wait -PreferredDataLocation NAM;
The second one builds in "https://XXXdefault.sharepoint.com" not the GEO site
