It's a business that has been propped up with the ill-gotten gain from land grabs through political connection and corruption. They have virtually no car tech and no reputation in the auto market, they are only at the assembling level. Over the last 10 years, all the tech-related businesses they ventured into have all failed and that includes the petrol car business. Now they attempt to ride the EV sentiment by jumping on the EV wagon. However, their approach is pretty much the same as they did to their petrol car business. This will end in tears again.

1. Ofcouse Vingroup has a close relationship with the Vietnamese government, that is why they succeed in real estate because the government owns lands. In Vn, there are many "backdoor" companies, owned by politician's families, so these politicians can transfer some state projects to these companies. Pham Nhat Vuong knows this better than anyone. 2. It's true that Vingroup has failed in many other business sectors like smartphones, supermarkets... and real estate is still the most profitable sector to fund other sectors. 3. I've lived in Eastern Europe for few years so I can somehow understand Vietnamese business man success from Eastern Europe.

The company made a fortune in real estate by being given preferential treatment to acquire poor people's land for as little as $1/m2. That's why the company was able to start the automotive business. In addition, this car is currently in the red as it is sold, but it continues to receive preferential treatment from the Vietnamese government.

@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. Let's see what happens to this reckless car company in the future.

According to Vinamr, Vinfast Fadil not only topped the A-segment but also became the best selling model of the whole auto industry in Vietnam 2021, far ahead other big names like Toyota and Hyundai. Also, Vinfast EVs have dominated the Vietnamese EV market since 2021. 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. We have to accept that this addiction to car centered transport must end- they love their mopeds, how about an e-moped? Not profitable I guess when everyone wants large personal boxes.

SO PROUD OF VIET NAM 🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳

[@montanacentralbank2370]

No, this is not going to work. Consider the landscape, the climate and what people used to, just invest in more bike factories, not cars. Does Starbuck works in VN? No, does Macdonald? No. Their own local coffee and banh mi is just so much better already.

[@traaotuong6107]

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.

[@montanacentralbank2370]

Road condition, general spaces, pollution, parking lot, affordable, car financing, a tax structure, emission laws and regulation. There's about a million issues that comes with it, just stick with motor bike.

If Vinfast want to compete in the US it must start to improve sevices to it's consumers first in Vietnam. I got an electric scooter from Vinfast and my charger was broken after one month. Brought it back to get a new one and was made to wait for the only technician to check it out. I asked for a loaner and was denied.

[@traveljacknguyen2915]

Yes, most people in Vietnam will choose other brands if they have enough conditions. Most of those who own Vinfast is due to their purpose of supporting national brands but not the quality

Crazy thing is that Vietnam had asked America for help in its independence struggle after ww2, but the US didn't want to antagonize the French which were busy trying to recapture their former colonies, incl. Vietnam. Yeap. Don't hear much about that do you? If anyone had actually given af about "freedom", things could've gone way different, and we'd all be better off for it. And esp. Vietnam.

[@christopherhamlin6139]

@@mysterioanonymous3206 The REALLY crazy thing is that America DID help Vietnam during WWII. American intelligence officers worked directly with Ho Chi Minh and the Viet Minh to expel the Japanese from Vietnam. The fact that President Truman decided to bow to France after WWII instead of recognizing Vietnam's independence was the first step down the long path of foreign policy blunders that resulted in America's disastrous experience in Vietnam.

This looks like too big of a gamble to handle. The electric market is much more saturated than what it was 5 years ago. As said in the video traditional manufacturers will storm the market in coming years with cheap EVs in next 5 years. And then there's the hydrogen fuel cell technology. What if traction shifts to hydrogen based vehicles instead of EVs by 2030? Huge challenges ahead. Anyway best of luck to them from India.

[@hlccn1]

In future, the leader of manufacturing will be India, not Vietnam.

[@HungLe-kj3th]

Yep, you're right. But isnt that what they want? Play bigger more risky games that could change the country's destiny

[@shikamaruthehokage]

@@hlccn1 Well, at the very least India will produce a lot of products to be used in the local market. For the near future I see low-end electronics, automobiles, electrical appliances, cheap mobile phones produced on a large scale in India. 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. For the long term, India will obviously dwarf Vietnam as its population is more than 10x bigger. But for short term, lets see how much time India can leapfrog by 2035-40.

[@shikamaruthehokage]

@@HungLe-kj3th I think there are other industries the conglomerate can invest where they will get smaller but sure rewards. There are too many problems with EV manufacturing from lithium mining to offset battery weight(for bigger cars). There is a very real possibility that hydrogen will eat out a lot of EV market share. The automobile business itself is also far too complex to master for a new company unlike traditional players who have mastered it after decades of experience.

[@HungLe-kj3th]

@@shikamaruthehokage yes you are right again. I'm a mechanical engineer graduated from Aus, my major was FEM so I know exactly what you are talking about. But again, we would not win America if we didnt think big. Well we may lose this big EV game, in fact I think the odd to lose is more than 50% because of all what you said, but that is the only way to avoid the middle income trap.

Many Vinfast EV vehicles caught on fired with fatal injuries and incidents in Vietnam! I wonder what safety guidelines are they following ? And what regulations for customers in case of lawsuits ?
