I am hopeful for Vietnam industry. I am very much reminded of the Hyundai story, having myself been the proud owner of a first generation Hyundai Excel, the sub-$7k 1986 "powerhouse" lol. It was deemed a joke of poor quality at the time. Fast forward, and look at Hyundai today! I hope for as successful a growth and improvement trajectory for Vinfast. Honestly, my Excel experience was instructive. As much as several details aggravated me,---rubbery imprecise manual shifter, anemic acceleration that forced me to shut off a/c when starting from a traffic light, just to keep up with traffic, to the unsupportive bucket seats, that little car nevertheless was still going "fine" when I sold it after 182K miles on the odo.

[@ledanglove]

Very well said, I do remember how much we laughed at Hyundai & Kia too lol

[@mspsys]

Hyundai Excel was the cheapest car you could buy when it came out. Yugo was cheaper but you couldn't go anywhere with Yugo as it was often no-go. haha This VinFast is 52K+, more expensive than Tesla Y. If VinFast wanted to be like Hyundai, the Vinfast VF8 shouldn't cost more than 30K.

[@michaelanders6161]

​@@mspsysagreed. I think Tesla set a model in the ev world of releasing more expensive models first, as the technology is new, and they seek to cover rnd costs. It seems the other car companies are following Tesla's lead. But maybe they shouldn't in this case. Vinfast has a concept for a very simple, sub-$20k car that is cute as a Tonka Truck. Depending on range, I'd consider buying it. A simple vehicle will be far easier to them to iron out the wrinkles from.

[@mspsys]

@@michaelanders6161 VinFast is only able to compete and sell cars in Vietnam due to insane 65% tax/tariff imposed on imported vehicles. Toyota Corolla costs almost $80K in Vietnam, making it real easy for VinFast to stay profitable in the domestic market. Chinese EV makers are flooding the EU market right now. Since 2021, Chinese EV market share grew by 361%!! While the Chinese EV makers had to survive & become good w/o any government subsidy, which is allowing them to dominate the EU market now, VinFast is nothing but a vapor ware, only staying in existence due to government subsidy.

[@lanpncz]

Thank you for your words of encouragement

[@AWildBard]

I think Vietnam is making the right move at this time to invest in EVs. I guess they will have time to iron out the flaws and become a respectable player in the long run. If they had to compete at making ICE, they probably wouldn't be able to win globally. Ev's aren't easy, but they are a lot easier than ICE.

[@relaxingtube6632]

Hey Kyle, I have watched your reviewed on VF8. I think you should take it easy on VF8 bro. I know there are a lot of big car companies out there that have a lot of problems too. They keep having recall issues all the time. I have owned many different brands of cars in the past because I love to switch cars every few years. They all have problems and I have to bring them in to get it fixed. Vinfast is a newcomer, I personally think they are doing a very good job. They did listen and fixed most of the problems in a short period. Therefore, I think you should take it easy and stop looking down on them bro. I start to feel that you are a little bit bias against them. You can give them feedback so they can fix the problem but please try to say in a nicer way. lol ,,, Hence, they are building their manufacturer in the U.S and that's mean they are creating jobs for us. It is all Positive. Peace Bro.

How much does a VinFast car cost? 49000 is dollars 2023 VinFast VF 8 Features Specs Base MSRP Excludes Destination Fee How much is the Tesla Model Y out the door? Pricing starts at $43,990. A maximum range of up to 310 miles, the latest tech, and a starting price under $40k (if you qualify for the federal EV tax credit) give the Tesla Model Y enough mainstream appeal to be the best-selling electric vehicle in the United States. No brainer, vicious competition

Hello there. I have the VF8 plus and when the car doesn't shut down. Simply go into camp mode and leave it. I do have that problem myself some time. For the charge thing in the charger, make sure to push the gun into the socket. Inside the car top left of the screen, you can press the batteries logo to see the battery options.

I will give Vinfast some slack here given my ownership experience with Tesla M3. When I got it in 2019, the screen would freeze periodically, there were random loose bolts making noise, the cabin experience wasn't great (still isn't) and autopilot basically tried to kill me countless times! And without showrooms in Texas, it was a very bad buying experience. I know a lot has changed since but compared to that, your VF8 experience is much better.

[@BBingo-v5i]

That is what Tesla owners always try to forget, they just got used to all the failures The Model 3 had extremely loud wind and road noises, failed wishbone suspension, skewed trunk lids and so much more. The Model X, a 85k car had wild issues the first months, the doors were outright dangerous. In fact all Teslas have and still have wild issues, like auto-break, not functioning rain detection, tanking charging curves + the model specific failures

This is interesting, and so was my first EV purchase, back in 2019 bought a 2019 Soul EV Limited (30kwh), live of coast (on the Sunshine Coast so a ferry ride to pickup the car in North Vancouver), and it was stellar till my infotainment system went blank! Had to take a ferry back to service and to find out the car was never taken out of shipping mode, talk about a messy predelivery inspection! They flicked the switch to delivered mode, paid for the ferry and everything was fine again but that blew away 3/4 of a day as the ferry only runs every 2 hours.

If a new brand is starting out and has flaky software, I think that can be okay as long as the buyers are informed up-front and the price reflects that. However, nothing should be delivered unless the key elements of being a car work reliably. The safety features are obviously needed - you can't have the brakes freeze due to software issues. But also important is the ability to charge (at all), and the ability to lock/unlock the car. That's the one function which I would absolutely say is a no-go issue for this car at the moment. You can deal with most of the other stuff being fixed "eventually".

Phormidable video, I like it. Especially that you chose to really go into a car to review it. Even buying it, I'm curious how it turns out over the 3 years.

[@christopherdouglas8471]

You need to chill man. The car buying experience does take time. Just because you want it today doesn’t mean they can deliver it today. What was the VIN of the vehicle you prearranged and reserved prior to flying into Raleigh? And to say you’re going to do a video that “VinFast won’t sell me a car” is not only ridiculous, it’s unfairly deceptive. I’m no VinFast convert (and clearly they still have software issues to be resolved), but let’s be fair here, OK? Thanks. Chris

​@@chungloankenny ​ Because he MUST TAKE the cross-country trip to San-Francisco and he stayed FOUR days in SC even though he was promised by the dealer that he gets the car on Thursday, then it becomes Friday, then Saturday, then Monday and still not ready. What kind of dealer does thing like that? Your ears were punched when you were young so you can't understand human's explanation?

[@QuangTruongHuyNguyen]

@@chungloankenny As a Vietnamese, a car enthusiast and a long-time watcher of Kyle and Out Of Spec, I don't see his team wanting to make dirty contents about VinFast at all. In fact, I quite like it when his team made videos about VinFast and made VinFast a bit more popular. I have to admit the car isn't perfect, however, VinFast's efforts trying to react quickly to the problems are worth applauding. Upcoming Out Of Spec videos about VinFast is exciting to me.

Saw one at the Vancouver Completely Charged show in Sept. the Vinfast guy tried everything to try and get me to test drive one but I'm happy with my Model Y. After seeing this, the only think I like about the car is the colour!

Hey Kyle, since you get to be around these new EV automakers maybe you could them there should be a pop-up message on the screen on EVs like the Bolt that tells the driver at one of those DC fast charging stations that the charging will be limited because your vehicle can only handle this much kilowatt.

[@urbanstrencan]

So do you get the VIN fast when you purchase your VinFast? 🤣

[@liver.flush.maestro]

Looks like it, we saw it on the Monroney window sticker you showed us🙂

[@roadfordays]

It tells you the VIN, all the time, by loudly beeping it at you in morse code. Some reviewers incorrectly said those were "warning beeps," but actually it is a feature so that you never forget the VIN. EVER.

To me, the most important question is the built quality and hardware capabilities, those are hard to replace or fix. The software glitchies are fixable over time. It's like a laptop on wheels.

@@edornelas8275 Apparently, it's not yet a priority for VW. Shame for the biggest auto company in the world. Hopefully, with increased EV introductions from other automakers, market forces will remind them.

@OutofSpecReviews with recent developement, specifically the broken front wheel in LA this week. That proves these cars are unsafe for the road. Should be grounded immediately. Should definably not let Francine drive this anymore. Keep up the good work!

That's the typical experience I've had with EVgo. I haven't been able to reliably charge at EVgo in 2.5 years.

[@dennislyon5412]

@@chris55top- I’m with you, Chris. They gave up on their single chargers here in Michigan seemingly years ago, way before EV sales started to ramp. I can think of 5 or 6 single chargers around metro Detroit that we’d love to have operational, which apparently have been left for dead. We can only hope they get replaced with new, since the charging locations are sort of quaint.

[@Sqeptick]

I'm pulling for Vietnam, and I hope the car pleasantly surprises you guys.

[@DoubleCTech]

I am so happy you got a VinFast. I want to root for any new EV brands in America but if they have issues they are better off not being sold here in first place. So far it’s not looking good but could be worse. 😅

[@Ccvikings2009]

This is why I loved the Tesla sales experience. Nothing shady. Just “here’s your car” like I bought an Xbox lol

[@neillgatley8770]

Some new car brands break into the mainstream while others just break. In the 1980's my Dad would have had more reliable motoring if he had Honda's and Toyotas instead of Rovers and Fords. In the 2000's a Kia would have been better value than the VW's and Skoda's I drove. I am in the UK and drive a Chinese MG 5 EV. I chose it partly because I can afford it but also, maybe in the future re received wisdom will be that the smart money was spent on MG. More Vinfast video's please so we can see if this car is value for someone. We can't all afford a Tesla for trips to the shops.
