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.

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 didn’t angle the monitor, it looks like they did in the VF9.

Appreciate all the early feedback everyone!

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 people are going to pay $10k more for a VinFast with lower range, higher 0-60 time, less refined features, and no network outside of California. I really hope VinFast realizes the VF6-8’s, have a ton of competition, and their uniqueness to most buyers lies in the VF9. (even that price is too high, but it’s at least reasonable as there isn’t a real economy 3 row EV)

Looks like they’re showing well at CES. Below is a link to the best VF9 walkthrough I’ve seen. It’s really impressive.

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 a sustainable plan for them. They can’t expect a $45000 car to have a residual value of $43000 at the end of 3 years.

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 reason. I have a growing family, and the VF9 is as close to perfect on paper as anything else I’ve seen. It’s the only real replacement for my PHEV Pacifica van in a price range I can rationalize, with a delivery date that’s somewhat tangible. Even if a competitor launches a 3 row alternative, what’s the chance I can get one without paying 20k over asking, or waiting in a que for over a year like I did with my wife’s ID.4? I even told myself in the beginning that I’d be over the moon excited if they actually delivered the VF9 in 2023, knowing full well that the 2022 promise had almost 0 chance of happening. I’m keeping my reservation, but I become less of an advocate, and more of a pessimist with every passing month.

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.
