    I leased a 2023 VF8 plus back in February 2024. I like it so far.

    I have leased a VF8 plus trim and currently getting 245 miles on a 90% charge. 75% of the time I drive it on Eco mode, but use the ventilated seats, AC, etc. My commute is about 75 miles per day, and I charge it at home every other day on a level 2 charger. I also noticed that I was given 1 year free of unlimited DC fast Charging through Electrify America! It’s a solid car, my only complaint is that the backup parking camera doesn’t come on all of the time when in reverse ( soft reset fixes this), but hoping that an OTA update will permanently fix it, otherwise very happy with it. Let me tell you it is fast!!

    Lease it and regretting it. Should have opted for Tesla model y instead. Given high insurance cost and software issues, it is not worth it. The panacea for all problems is to reset the car. really?

      I never had a Tesla , but have a lot of friends who have. They told me over the years that their cars have had all kinds of issues on first launch and several years afterwards. Your high insurance costs are anecdotal. My insurance decreased by 10%. I did a lot of test driving and research, and for me the VF8 is the best all around EV , their warranty is unmatched.

    Yes, I am a happy owner of a 2024 VF8 Plus. The incentives on the VF8 make it a better lease deal than other similar size EV models. I also work for a dealership group that sells them. If anyone is interested in leasing one please let me know. Call/text Ben Brooks at 850.723.2870

    This is a car with a bit of a learning curve with all the tech. The pluses are the great lease deal, the luxury feel, and the fact that it is all electric. The downsides include irritating turn signals that take a while to figure out, the radio comes on every time I get in the car, a learning curve thing, and a bouncy suspension. I have the 2023 Plus model. Apparently they ironed out the suspension for the 2024. There is a lot to love about this car, especially with the $150 two-year lease deal.

    Car is fine with the price point consideration. Things I like – the car is quite fast due to dual motor and the adaptive cruise control.

    Main unsolved issue is the random nonstop loud fan noise and the associated battery drain.

    I picked up my VF8 a month ago….have put on 2k miles on it ….So far so good…some glitchy error messages I love the “light leveling error” We do not have light leveling in the USA….Audio is subpar …but everything has worked without issue …..Some little annoyances …I find the ride OK ….does have A LOT of tire noise on bad pavement (so all pavement in Massachusetts) I am very happy overall….
