    I seriously doubt anybody would when Tesla Model Y can be had for less money than VF8.

    if anybody leased a City Edition, they are being very quiet or not online at all. Or there were no takers. For the range, way too expensive.

    Negative, they should allow the purchase to the Vin pioneers with the promised price, battery subscription, and when materials become more readily available replace with higher KW battery free of charge. This I might have considered if I was able to retrieve new battery by summer. This would allow VF8s to be on the street and that alone will market the Vinfast brand seeing vehicles on the street.

      Totally agree with you even though I live outside of California but would not hesitate to pick it up in California myself.

      i totally agree because all pioneer member booked without test drive or even seen physical car. So they need to think about early reservation and that way they can built trust or loyal customer.

    Has anyone seen any of these 999 City Edition on the roads in California?

      Not yet. For some reason, none has been delivered although someone posted on his FB that he already got one (?)

    i’m a bit late in responding. Totally agree that our Vinfirst pricing should be locked. However, it seemed like US Bank (VF’s backing financial institution) was not confident with VF’s battery leasing program hence the elimination of it. I initially only want to purchase VF8 with intention of leasing the battery due to attractive warranty.

    Interest rate are so high for financing cars right now (6 or 7% with my bank), so financing the whole car is tough. We’re leasing for the first 2 years hoping that interest rates would go down by the time we finance the residual value.

      Credit Unions is who I typically would use if I can’t get finance through car manufacturer. I live in Washington and BECU is offering 5-5.25% on new car loan since I am banking with them.

    I am leasing a VF8 Plus right now. It was delivered to me last Saturday and so far, I have put in 300 miles on it already. I love the car and I am getting a lot of compliments on it. It’s such a beautiful and quality-built EV!

      How is the mileage? Does it really giving 190+ miles as they promised or you need to charge only 90% and gives around 150 miles are so? Did you install charger at home?

        Oh yes, I would say around 200 for my PLUS. I have been charging mostly at the charge stations since my LVL1 charger is very, very slow at home. I will use a LVL 2 charger soon and that should speed up for overnight session. I just ordered a LVL2 charger from Amazon to be plugged into the dryer outlet in the garage. The charger that comes with the car can be both LVL1 and LVL2 , depending on whether it’s plugged into the 110v or 220v outlet. My outlet is a 3-pronged one so I cannot use the 4-pronged plug the VF charger has.

        If things still don’t work out, I will then install a LVL2 charger which costs more with installation..

    So, I am glad to hear you got your Vf8 Plus. Did you have a reservation?

      Thank you. Yes, I had a reservation since 1/22. I was going to wait for the Standard version due here in April/May but decided to go for the lease instead. And even if it’s a lease, I still get all the perks promised to Vinfirsts..
