Driving the Most HATED Car In America!

( www.alltfl.com/ ) Check out our new spot to find ALL our content, from news to videos and our podcasts! In this video, Tommy takes another look at the VinFast VF8 -- an electric SUV from Vietnamese automaker VinFast that aims to establish a foothold for the brand in the U.S. While its intentions are ambitious, reviews haven't been kind to this new arrival. But how well-deserved are the initial takes on the VF8?

In my area, the lease deal on the VF8 is crazy good. $1,000 down and $249 a month for 36 months, excluding taxes/fees. Compare that to the current Model Y lease of $3k down and $449 a month for 36 months, excluding taxes/fees. At the end of the lease, you’ll have shelled out over twice as much for the Tesla - $19,146 vs $9,964. Given the ever changing state of EV technology, getting a great lease may be the best way to go, assuming the mileage cap won’t be an issue.

Just depends on if you're looking for basic transportation. There are plenty of cheap leases for things like the Leaf too.

Đánh giá này rất hợp lý với tâm trạng của một người thử xe chứ không phải một người cần mua xe. Vì khi mua xe người ta sẽ cân nhắc, xem xét nhiều khía cạnh khác nhau. Ví dụ như bạn này nói rằng nó chạy kém hiệu quả hơn Tesla Model Y hay Huyndai Ionig 5, Kia EV6... Tất nhiên VF8 sẽ có những thứ kém hơn so với những mẫu xe kia nhưng nó cũng có những thứ hơn mà các mẫu kia không có, ví dụ như cam 360, cảnh báo điểm mù trên gương chiếu hậu, hệ thống ADAS mượt mà... Ở người thử xe thì nói thế nào cũng được, nhưng với người mua xe ở từng thị trường thì lại khác. Ví dụ như ở thị trường Canada, xe VF8 có giá thấp hơn Model Y đến 20.000 $ với cùng tiêu chuẩn AWD, thấp hơn Huyndai Ionig 5 AWD hay Kia EV 6 AWD đến 10000 $. Vậy người mua có chấp nhận mức giá đó hay không là một vấn đề không thuộc khía cạnh mà người chỉ thử xe tuyên bố. Vì vậy, nếu bạn nghe 1 người thử xe nổi tiếng nào đó nói rằng chiếc xe ABC này không đáng mua thì bạn không nên tin ngay điều đó, tốt hơn hết là bạn cần phải đưa tất cả các xe mà bạn muốn mua vào một danh sách, sau đó xem tất cả các cấu hình của chúng cũng như những ưu, khuyết điểm mà từng chiếc xe có, sau đó bạn mới có thể quyết định mua chiếc xe phù hợp nhất.

I can't think of a consumer EV that lets you fully disable the traction control. An electric motor is basically an on/off switch if no current control is in place. No matter what you need to have some amount of traction control in place. Otherwise you get a result like this where you have 100% of the torque immediately and you end up with an uncontrolled situation. As much as I love a good burn out, I would say this is a dangerous design. It's totally uncontrollable. Vinfast really should patch that.

For me, the software problem is similar to that of Tesla when it first built a car. 8 years ago, I had a Tesla from a friend in California. I tried it and had the same problem as Vinfast. If this company can survive the next 5 years, they will There will be a solid foothold. As for the price of the car, I agree that it is quite expensive, but considering that it is imported and does not have subsidies from the government, the price is quite reasonable, I know they have plans to build factory in America, if this car will have a more competitive price with competitors, yes we also have new options, let them develop, anyway we have the same lesson as Toyota when they first came to America, Maybe Vinfast will be like them or at least achieve half of what Toyota has tried since its appearance in the US.

So many Vinfast bots/shills in these comments saying “the 2024 fixes all the issues”. Astroturfing doesn’t work when it’s so obvious. That said, it does look like Vinfast has put in the work over the last year to overcome the initial issues, and now it feels like the VF8 is a competent EV, comparable to a Toyota bz4x or similar. An acceptable commuter/city car with _occasional_ road-trip chops. Honestly, it seems like their biggest problem is their anemic dealer/service network, and the price has to come down significantly. But the product itself is acceptable now. And unlike Fisker, Vingroup has some staying power.

Exactly, it happens in every single Vinfast review.

I think we should give them more time, anyway look at Tesla's early years when they first made the car, their problems were more than this car. Now, Tesla cars are selling very well. Give them another 3 - 5 years and they may no longer exist or they will truly develop into a reputable brand with good quality. However, this 2024 version also proves that they have improved and listened to customers' opinions. row. In the near future, I heard that in the last quarter of this year they will sell their VF9 car in the US. According to information, I know that this car has much better quality because the company has invested heavily in it. The problem I think is the least attractive of the car is the price. Importing from Vietnam and not receiving subsidies from the US government causes the price of the car to increase quite a lot, making it stand at the price of a segment. different cars, but nonetheless their lease is much more attractive than Tesla's.

Tommy's Hyundai comparison is flawed. Hyundai launched Excel @ $4,995. Then offered 10 year warranty. They gave reasons to buy Hyundai. Vinfast has given no single reason to buy.

[@damilolaakanni]

There are some people who will still never consider buying a Hyundai. Especially when there are more reliable options from other brands.

[@yissibiiyte]

​@@damilolaakanniyou're proving your own point. To this day plenty of people (mainly Americans) still refuse to believe that Hyundai's are generally very reliable. Comparable to Japanese brands.

[@RysterARCEE]

Hyundai was selling cars for 12 years in the US before offering the 10yr powertrain warranty. Hyundai sold purely on price for over a decade before throwing in that warranty to further entice buyers. I bought a Hyundai new in 2010 and owned it for 5 years. The warranty was worthless. Unless there was a CEL or other light on, they wouldn't even investigate issues. I gave Hyundai a chance and will never buy another regardless of price/warranty.

Tesla should be embarrassed that this brand new car from a brand new brand has a much better build quality than them.

The only thing that matters in corporate America is stock price. Happy customers and top quality is secondary. I prefer Japanese cars and trucks over US ones. Toyota is going astray, but I’m sure they’ll figure it out.

[@vutran3183]

Tesla maybe not the best choice yet but still far better than this new brand. Period

[@TheReal_JG]

I doubt Tesla's really worried about Vinfast. The VF8's charging speed is slower, it's less efficient on a bigger battery than its competitors, and the software improved, but it still needs further revisions. Besides, I dont think the hundreds of thousands of people ordering new Teslas care if a panel is only off by a millimeter.
