@Hung Giang: if you own a property and cannot pay your mortgage and if your bank accepts a short sale on your property, your debt will be forgiven and you don’t owe the bank anything, right? But you still have to file that forgiven debt as income and hence, INCOME TAX!

And FYI, I am NOT a VinFast employee. LOL. I am an owner of 2 VF8s, however.…

It’s business! The EV sales market now is different from when we got our City Edition. The new deal doesn’t include the one-year free charging like what VF offered to Vinfirsts months AFTER delivery dates (so VF did try to sweeten our deals even after we got the car). It’s unfortunate for us Vinfirsts but I don’t think we can expect anything…

In America, anything you earn counts as “income” and must be declared for income tax purposes. And the party that pays you must report it to the IRS so that’s what VinFast did. If you have lived in the US long enough, you should know this. It’s nothing personal but VinFast is only doing its job as far as the law requires it to do. It’s your job…

UPDATE: VinFast picked up my car on Monday, left me a loaner and returned my car on Thursday. The problem was found to be some food crumbs that got stuck in the gear shift buttons that caused some of the buttons to stick, hence intermittent gear shift issue. After cleaning, the problem went away. I still am VERY HAPPY with the services I have…

My car had some issues a couple days ago so instead of risking to be stuck somewhere, I am getting a rental until I can get the car serviced. I would prefer a loaner but it’s a Holliday weekend so VF Service Center is closed. I am sure I will be reimbursed for my rental. On the other policy, I agree with Gabriel that you should ask your Service…

Yes, initially, but it seems like there is a lot of interest in the VF8 by both dealerships and critics alike that VinFast might bring it here..

Guess we missed the latest VF model from the last car show? People are talking about VF3 but nobody knows about the VF Air that Natalie actually owns! Amazing!;-)

Awesome, as long as you remember that the star here is your VF8 while you are her.. “bodyguard”!;-)

It was a long time waiting and a far, far distance to get here but at last, VinFast arrived on American shore.. And nothing else was more appropriate than VinFast’s showing off its Red, White, and Blue to celebrate its host’s birthday on July 4, 2023!

#VinFast #MyVinFastMoment

Awesome! Looking forward to reading about his journey at every stop!

For the last 7 months of driving, I missed listening to my favorite talk shows on AM radio station and wondered why VinFast left AM out of its radio receception! Thanks to Mr. Mo from Canada, I just learned and successfully tuned in to my AM Radio station yesterday so conveniently via ALEXA. Actually, changing any radio station, AM or FM, can be… Read more

I guess we have to wait as the company works out its policy on this. I am pretty sure it will be extended or replaced by an equivalent promotion as VinFast is trying hard to boost sales just lately..

I have no choice but installing a dash cam in my car since we don’t know when or if VinFast would provide the sentry feature. The dashcam is truly needed as you want to record activities around your car even when it’s parked. It’s a way to deter the possible vandalism targeting your beloved VF car..

Thank you for your recommendation. I, too, think that having dash cam and sentry features is very important for VinFast car owners. Hope VinFast will be able to incorporate these features in future updates..

It’s beautiful and grand! Pick the one model that’s suitable for your pocket is my advice for you. And keep buying.. lottery tickets;-)

The IPO and stock offering issue is handled by a department of VinFast that really has nothing to do with the rest (sales, services, technical..) To us in this past week, all we hear about is about VinFast stocks but that doesn’t mean the whole company stops working and.. watches the stocks (like some us do);-) I wouldn’t worry about it.

Looks like they have some accessories on the Vietnamese website. Not sure about “fancy” but hopefully VinFast will have an answer for you soon!

I just thought about this one when using ADAS on a surface road, understanding that ADAS is meant to be used on freeway only(?): if the cameras detect a speed bump or a dip on the street surface, the car should slow down to prepare for that instead of keeping the same set speed. I was having ADAS on at 25 mph speed limit but there was a dip on…

I get many compliments on my VF8 so I know the car is very attractive and is an attention grabber. Besides the styling, both exterior and interior, I love the ADAS feature that makes driving fun. And the power it has to zoom off ahead most other cars from a stop light! 😉

I haven’t got anything yet.. Do you have to request for it or is it automatic?

That’s 2 more people than the voucher allows. So 2 extra people with food, drinks, fees.. at $1,500 for 6 nights at a 5-star Resort? That doesn’t sound too outrageous, does it? A night at VinPearl is already costing a few hundred dollars..

I wish no lagging in video for the back up camera. There is a delay in the display (or slow screen refresh rate?) that if you depend on it and start backing up the car, you might be in unexpected trouble should a fast-going vehicle be crossing your path..

That sounds disheartening! I didn’t expect everything to be “free” but $1500 for “surcharges and misc. services” is a lot! What are they, can you please share?! Thanks!

Happy 4th of July to all VF8 owners!

Ever since I got my VF8 in March, I always had problems with charging at home. I am using the 240 V outlet that was made for the electric dryer in the garage. At times, the car charged right away and reached 100% over night at around 7% per hour. That was with 30A setting. At other times, it would not start no matter how many times I unplugged and…

I don’t think she referred to “negative reviews” as “noise”. I believe she was talking about those who said VinFast could not build a car from day one, let alone a car that can be exported to a country like the U.S. with strictest requirements. Some of the websites, in order to get views, put that on their headlines because they know most people…

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..

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…

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!

I got my insurance with 21st Century. With multiple car rate, my cost is exactly $600 for 6 months. Seems like at least 2 other people got the same rate from other Insurance companies as well..

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…

Did you call your current insurer?! I am sure they want to retain you as their customer..

In Canada, are prices during reservations last year being honoured?

In Canada, when can we test drive on public roads?

In Canada, when will we know the pricing for the VF8 models (Eco and Plus, battery included and subscription)?

In Canada, when can we start ordering vehicles?

Probably just a bump on the road. As for me, no Tesla, period!

I would like to know how a Vinfirst like myself can still get all the benefit reserved for “Vinfirsts” by leasing a VF8 City Edition?!

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