    I thought it would be good to start a thread for people who took delivery of a VF8 today to post reviews/feedback, etc.

    If you’re a new owner, please post your thoughts!

    If you’re not an owner, but came across someone who is in a media article (youtube/website/etc.) link it for the rest of us!

    I remember seeing a response here stating that one of the first customers heard a rattling sound while driving back from the pickup. I hope the mods are not deleting comments here that intend to provide feedback.

    same thing i saw and disappear. So i think Vinfast deleted negative comment. Also i check in YouTube all video in Vietnam language there is non in English language and all video everyone talking in Vietnam language. So i think all 45 customer is from Vietnam origin non in usa.

      I saw that response to having a rattling sound on the drive home. If Vinfast did remove the post that is not a great representation of this forum and I will stop using this one as they are being biased to only spread what they want people to see. They want people to only hear the good stuff and not the negative. Sorry to say this VINFAST we are not a Communist Country if you can not take that your vehicle is not up to our standards guess what we the people (Democracy) we let the people know so that everyone has a better understanding on what is going on and how the company can improve. This is a good reason why never to buy a first year car to get these bugs out of the system.

        I also had a post deleted but not sure why. I never received any feedback from Vinfast as to why it was deleted.

    It’s awfully so quiet in this community forum. It seems like interests have considerably waned.

      I have noticed this as well. Most of the postings are over a month old.

    This leads me to another question I have been wondering. Who services these cars when they have problems which they will. Where do you take the car when there is an annoying rattle? The car I test drove recently had a very loud rattle along with a rear window wiper that would not work, no matter how many times the VinFast representative turned if off and back on.

    Even the best car manufacturer produces cars with minor and major issues.

      Thanks for your feedback on your test drive, I had no noise issues when I test drove a car in Commerce location and the car drove fine. I understand they currently have 4 service centers where they can address any issue. While at the Commerce location, I had a list of questions I wanted addressed, one of which had to do with servicing their cars. I believe their first choice would be to have someone from the mobile service address issue before sending to a service center. I was also told if a car had to be serviced at a service center, car loaners or uber rides would be offered. I hope this helps. It would be nice if a VF moderator could chime in with more info.

      It would be nice to hear more feedback from others who have either leased a car or did a test drive.

        Just to follow up on my post, Vinfast called regarding my post. They confirmed 2 service centers are currently open, 1 in Northern CA and 1 in Southern CA. The service center in Southern CA is in Carson. This is the 3rd time Vinfast has reached out to me regarding comments posted so it good to know they are reading our comments.

    I received my VF8 Plus on Saturday March 4. Drove it the past few days and the experience has been pleasant. The only noises I heard came from all the notifications while driving (Lane Departure Warning – drifting to either side of the road, speed limit..) but I guess you could turn them off. I did experience 2 fault warning messages one of which was about the Blind Spot Warning lights on both side mirrors. At that time, both lights were on during the whole trip to work but after being parked for a while, the warning went away. Both times the errors occured, the car just went through an over-night charging at home so I don’t know if that has anything to do with it..

    I received my VF8 yesterday, and it’s been a pleasant experience so far.

    It was bit of an adjustment since this is my very first EV. Overall, there are so much tech in this car and so many settings that we cant wait to explore them all. I’ve been telling people around me about VF, and it’s satisfying that the vehicle is finally here. Bugs here and there would be fixed with a few OTA updates. my next-door neighbor stopped by and chatted with my hubby and was convinced to getting 1 soon. we should earn some commission as a result.

    We tested ADAS on the freeway last night and just loved the smooth handling.

    I need to learn to not slam on the accelerator while on Eco mode to conserve battery.

      Key things are how to adjust the settings that would work out the best tailored to your preferences. Unfortunately I am still waiting my chance to test drive and hopefully buying one myself. I wish Vinfast ought to consider bringing back the battery leasing because a number of early reservation holders are in simply due to this reason.

        I’ve heard they haven’t abandoned the idea of battery leasing yet, but the lack of details is concerning!

        That was my intention when reserving my vf8 as well. The battery leasing plan would have worked out so well for us since we dont drive as much.

        I believe the banks here dont like the battery leasing program, so VF has to adjust their plans.

      I just hope the OTA updates really happen. That was something we were told would take place with our VW ID.4, and so far the updates have been pretty much non-existent. Looking forward to seeing if VinFast delivers!

      Hi Geoff Roemerman,

      We appreciate you bringing this battery subscription concern to our attention! Currently, our battery subscription program is still under development. We want to thank you for being patient and supportive of us throughout this process!

        I booked for vf9 and would want to wait until I get the battery subscription back as part of the original promise. We can’t afford to spend 80K on a totally new brand without knowing how the service and support is going to be and how the performance in the long run will be, without having some peace of mind of battery subscription in place and the 20K-25K lower the price.
