Looking for any updates anyone has on the VF9. The last update I could find in the forums was in May stating ordering opening in Q2, delivery at the end of Q3 or beginning of Q4. I also found a lot of VinFast moderator posts saying sorry for not proactively communicating changes. It’s frustrating that they continue to apologize, but then not learn… Read more

As of May 1st (2 months in), they are still advertising the CE online, so I would assume the number is under 999. Not a very inspiring first 2 months.

These aren’t really thanks for reporting, we’ll work with you type issues….these should be bring your car in and we’ll get it fixed today issues….disappointed at the customer service lip service while failing to deliver a real resolution for this guy.

I empathize with you man. The lane assist issue alone should ground the car and get you a loaner. The lack of saved features like climate control is just unacceptable. Hope that’s an issue for just yours and not how the software was released.

As a VF9 reservation holder that’s in the Midwest, I appreciate hearing your feedback. I can’t just run down the street and drive one/see one, so experiences like this are the only thing I really have to base my decision to keep waiting or not on, since VinFast is doing nothing to communicate or bring a vehicle to my area. It’s weird that they…

Appreciate all the early feedback everyone!

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

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!

No, it’s been since the beginning.

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!

Congratulations! Big day for Vinfast and those that are getting their VF8’s. Looking forward to reading the reviews and hearing about the experiences of those with an actual production car and not prototypes. Can’t wait until the VF9’s start rolling in. 🙂

Especially since Tesla drastically cut prices this week… I think you can get a Model Y for mid 50’s. 330+ mile range, and qualifies for the $7500 rebate in the US (I think, not a tax professional). That brings the effective price to the high $40’s for better range, a nationwide charging and repair network, and immediate availability. Very few…

I mean, you can’t lease a decent ICE car for 249 a month anymore, so of course I’d take it… but why on earth would Vinfast ever lease them for that? At 249 a month that would be 9k in payments. Subtract 1500 for charger installed – 5400 free charging at 150 a month = 2100 in actual money applied to vehicle cost for vinfast) There’s no way that’s…

I’m right there with you Scott. I’ve grown very disappointed with the lack of clarity from Vinfast, the constant missteps, the excuse of “we’re very new and trying to move fast”, and the lack of delivering on what’s promised. Every time I feel like cancelling my reservation, I have to remind myself when I reserved this that I did it for a…

Any chance that people in the Midwest (USA) will get to experience a VF8 or VF9 without having to fly to one of the coasts? (NYC or LA) It’d be great to get to see one at either the Chicago or Cincinnati Auto Show in Q1 2023….

Thanks for posting. Another example of the media signaling to Vinfast that they made a bad decision in the eyes of the American consumer, and continued radio silence from Vinfast.

I think you hit the nail on the head. My guess is that the EPA range came in significantly lower than they were hoping for, and they had to spin it to buy themselves time while they figured out what to do next. That would also explain some of the ridiculous decisions they stated at their events, like limiting acceleration to conserve power when… Read more

Chicago area (Midwest)

I’m a little disappointed nothing has been shared regarding the plans for expansion. I’d rather see them opening up some regional service centers/dealerships vs plastering California. (IE NYC, Chicago, Phoenix, Dallas, Miami, St Louis, DC, etc.) I think they could cover the majority of us if they opened 10-12 dealerships in big cities and really…

No it wasn’t, and I’m a little disappointed Vinfast hasn’t come out and done some damage control. I think he brought up some concerns that should be addressed. The thing I’m most nervous/disappointed in is that they’ll be throttling performance under 80%. 20%-80% is where I plan on doing most of my driving, and depending on the severity of the…

VF9 Extended Range in Green for me. Hope the range estimates hold up because it’ll be replacing our long distance family hauler.
