Place the charge port in the left rear and start adopting Tesla NACS.

when booking, you have to pay hotel surcharge based on location. if you bring more than 4 people to the trip, you have to pay full price for each even they share your room, and the catch is you have to pay for their 3 buffets per day as well (about $100 per day per additional person), but the food is mediocre at best. Alcoholic beverage and beer…

VinFast will set you up with VinPearl Vouchers. You can use the vouchers to book the resort of your choice on your own. That’s when you have to pay the additional charges.

VinPearl locations are remote or isolated for most locations. If you come to relax then it will be great. Otherwise, just get a hotel in downtown for more activities.

I had 2 additional people to join me for a total of 6, it costed me about $1500 for both locations.

I am sharing my experience on my trip taking my family to Vietnam visiting Phu Quoc and Ha Long Bay using the VinFast Vacation. First, the hotels and staffs are exceptional in their services. You will feel very welcome to their properties. The not so good part about this offer is in the fine print. It is not free after all. I had to pay surcharges… Read more

it is not refundable once converted to a binding sale contract.

Fords, GM, Rivian and many EV manufacturers are moving to adopting Tesla NACS. I would suggest VinFast to do the same joining Tesla NACS standard and provide adapter to current model like others.

I keep seeing people post their 12V battery issues. I know Tesla had similar issue with their 12V LEAD battery before as well. Is there a plan for VF to replace them with the 12V Lithium battery?

Tranparency is the key to any business success. There are multiple mixed reviews on the VF8 and VF9 from VinFirst Pioneer in Vietnam and here in the States. Most issues with the cars are around software and rough ride. It would be best vof VinFast to create a forum to communicate about their works and support to its customers. We would love to… Read more

I placed reservation and converted to purchase binding contract. When will VinFast open stores on the East Coast? I can place the order for one of the VF8 in transit to US, if VinFast ship it to me.

looks like the price on VF8 has just dropped to 51K for the Plus.

$56K fully loaded VF8 is ok, but Vinfast needs to make sure to include the extended range battery for 270 miles.

VF8 voucher gave away to one buyer, who will have the VF8 delivery within a week..

for the VF8 yes. But VF9 pricing as of today disqualifies the 7500 because it is over $80K. So it’s not IRS nor VinFast issue so you are most likely won’t get the 7500.

I am from the East Coast and don’t think I can put my hand on any VinFast car anytime soon. I have both VF8 and VF9 vouchers for $3K and $5K respectively. Anyone who can buy either VF8 or VF9 and want to get the discount, let me know.

I can give mine voucher for free to anyone who wants to buy the car. However, I take the vacation package in Vietnam.

My model Y performance is arriving next week. It is cheaper than the VF8 for sure. Oh by the way, IRS let you claim $7500 for all model Y now. That would put my model y about $49500. It is an uphill battle for VF8. VF9 will not qualified for tax incentive because it odd more than $80K MSRP. So I will have to cancel both my reservations. Anyone…

Purchase date vs. delivery date

If you entered a written binding contract to buy a vehicle before August 16, 2022, but took possession on or after August 16, 2022, and before January 1, 2023, you may claim the credit based on the prior rules and disregard the assembly requirement.

If you purchased a vehicle between August 16, 2022 and December 31,…

VinFast needs to clarify on their promise of giving $7500 discount now that I don’t see the company is listed as qualified manufacture. Also from IRS website, you will not be eligible for incentive if you don’t take delivery before 1/1/2023.

While this is an option for lower initial acquisition cost. But you will have issue with financing and reselling. Bank does not like to hold a partial lien on the car. If the buyer doesn’t pay, then the bank will take ownership of the car and sell it at auction. They cannot do that if VinFast has ownership of the battery pack. Also, you will…

You guy need to clearly communicate your program to your customers. If the City Edition is for lease only, then stop giving MSRP on this model. We want to know the deal on the sale edition of VF8 and VF9 (ECO and PLUS). Other manufactures are dropping their price to stay in the game with Tesla.

To have a shot at Tesla, they need to keep the $41K and $48K with enhanced battery pack included. Given Tesla proven track records for the last 10 years, it is hard for a new name to compete with them, in term of quality and price.

You have to use it by end of 2023. That’s the fine print on these offers.

I placed my order with Tesla for a model Y Long Range with a tow hitch for $53,990. I have 2 reservations, one VF8 and one VF9. I am waiting on VinFast to counteroffer, and I am willing to drop my Model Y order if the offer makes sense.

As of today, VinFast is not on IRS list for eligible EV incentive. There are many questions and challenges for VinFast to deal with now. First and most important is the price of their car to compete with the number one brand Tesla. The VF8 plus must be less than 50K includes at least a 330 Miles battery pack to win back their customer. Second…
