@@quinguyenmelbourne7680 Many leaders like Zimbabwe's Robert Mugabe, Albania's Hoxha, Venezuela's Chavez, and Indonesia's Sukarno, who contributed to independence in their youth, later oppressed their people through authoritarian politics. The fact that they achieved independence decades ago has nothing to do with how they treat their citizens now. It's also true that Vietnamese who were driven out to countries like the U.S., Germany, or France in the past live much more prosperously than those living in Vietnam today. And it's a fact that their governments treat them better than your government treats you. Everyone can guess but doesn't say that the recent terrorist incident in Dak Lak was caused by an ethnic minority who lost their homes and land. That's because if you say it, you have to be investigated by the police. In your country, even if there is an assault happening right in front of you, the police pretend not to know, but they diligently investigate if you say anything bad about the government. It's the same when they accept bribes on the streets, something that police in other developed countries don’t do. The reason why your country appears to be functioning well without any issues is that there isn't enough freedom of the press. For example, if a high-ranking official wrongs you and you didn't capture it on your phone, you'll likely be the one who has to be investigated by the police. Who would believe that such a country treats its citizens fairly? I am a foreigner who has lived in Vietnam for many years, and I've concluded that your country cannot thrive because of people like you who blindly support the government.

By 2030, finally a few economic clusters would have access to modern expressways(along with dedicated rail freight lines) linked directly to deep-water ports. The current economic growth will churn out more middle-class consumer demand for cheap local production.

In addition to a fleet of 200 all-electric public VinBus carrying 60 passengers at a time, over 1,000 Vinfast e34's (a smaller version of VF8) have been sold since Dec 2021. Surprisingly, there have been no problems reported after over 8 months on the road. Similarly, no serious issues have been reported about BMW electric cars.

Maintaining those roads (worse as vehicles get heavier by, say replacing an energy dense medium like petrol with batteries) and mining the materials for those cars has a horrendous impact on the environment.

Vietnamese people haven't owned many cars yet because their income is still low. But the middle class is increasing and the income is improving so the car market actually has many potential in the future. Now in young generation (born 1980s - onwards), they invest a lot in cars.

Where Vietnam could win is by building a really cheap cars with cheap parts and easy to service. But invest heavily in state of the art infotainment features. software, screens and connectivity are what’s driving demand for new vehicles. But there’s a huge population of ppl who can’t afford the new cars on the market but want one. The major automakers are going in the opposite direction. They’re making bigger more expensive vehicles bc the mass affluent is their market Vietnam could win by attacking from the bottom like the Japanese did in the 70s and 80s. But it’s unclear if the communist party in Vietnam has the stomach for the type of fiscal policies that enabled the Japanese window guidance. That last point about how willing the gov will be to back them is the key point. Half of the video could’ve been allocated to that point alone. I’d want to better understand the ties btw the communist party and the CCP. That will drive a lot of what this company can and can’t do.

I am not a businessman but my take is this: if Korean and Japanese car makers can compete in the US market. Why not Vietnam EV? The question is: Can vinfast pass the US auto safety standards? The general US car consumers are looking for quality: Feature, design, comfort, price, reliability and maintenance. If vinfast can tailor the designs to meet consumers demands and affordability. Vinfast can compete in the US car market. Who knows it may hits the US car jackpot!

[@joellebandan5244]

Sir - Vietnamese and Chinese cars cost about $10k less than US and European cars...and get better service + have a higher built quality...also: there are no patent restrictions so the best options can evolve due to easy sharing.

because Vietnam has nothing about battery technologies.. it ie the biggest problem of Vietnam.. as far as i know, Vin fast has no gasoline engine they have developed. if Vietnam does not have plenty of battery technologies, Vietnam always has to depend on China,South Korea or Japan battery companies... i am sure it will be huge disaster🇨🇳👍🤣😁😜

[@super_hero2]

The strategy of vinfast is to use components from different manufacturers around the world even the design is outsourced. I can assure you that this model might work in vietnam but internationally, it will fail due to high cost.

[@joellebandan5244]

VinFast’s strategic partners are all big names in the fields of technology and automotive industry such as Pininfarina, ZF, Durr, Bosch, ABB, Faurecia, Dassault, Google, etc. - I am positive about it succeeding ... especially because it's models already meet the highest safety standards set by NHTSA and EURO NCAP.
