Big difference with tesla is – Tesla will still be here in the united states come summer of 2026 – VF wont be!

Better hope you get in feb 10th – Holman, Jacksonville, Pensacola, Charlotte, Greensboro – All offically shutdown service centers on Feb 28th, 2026….

Not to worry – they dont have much time left here in the USA.

a must watch – was released on 12-15-2026… sums things up! 🙂

Quan,

After further discussions with my tech in florida – he has stated the with the .16 firmware update – some may need new fob replacements – with the .11 and even further with the new .12 updates they will require new fobs! just a heads up

7 flordia dealersahips now closed – ALL 3 NC CLOSED…

Could not have said it better!!!

47 mins 45 seconds in~ The best vinfast review yet!!!

Sad day for vinfast US community today! Got word Jeff Holland who overseen communications and public relations in the USA was let go from his position!

I guess VF is in full scale back and scale out of the United States market now!

Unless you purchased tire and rim protection from your dealership, then NO, roadside service does not cover that.

Whomever is telling you they are at a port – is flat out lying to you – There have been zero part shipments to the united states in over 8 months! — There are a bunch of customers here in the USA waiting on parts, some now over 6 months!! Ill make things easy on you – THOSE PARTS, ARE NEVER COMING!

Now thats funny!!!! — Our dealerships take over a week to do upgrades, and they have been VF certified – Dont hold your breath on VF — EVER — getting OTA updates to work – Thats never happening here in the USA!

moderator01 – The san deigo dealership had been in the plans for over a year – that is the ONLY REASON it opened – How about the 5 florida dealerships, and 2 north carolina dealerships, the bowling green dealership, the kanas dealership… and others that have all closed in 2025?!?! 🙂 — Like I said – ADIOS VINFAST!

LMFAO! Have had 2 vf8 plus’s for over a year now – those are all KNOWN ‘issues/concerns’ – There are zero plans to address any of them – not to worry however – you WILL get use to them – like the rest of us have! 🙂

Yep! The 8.3.11 update is a new interface – Kind of – took me about 3 days to get use to it. you will find auto hold, etc under drive mode – three …

on your vinfast screen- go into settings — EV –>> Settings and adjust your AMPS! – I have an lv2 J1772 in my garage – from 20-100% takes about 7 hours – AVG 9KW an hour.

Had high hopes for you vinfast! Thought you were in it for long – Sadly your CEO made that offical today that your out of the USA and all in on ASIA.

since you are leaving us US customers high and dry – not only with the worthless 3rd party service – REPAIRunWISE you have teamed up with

But the lack of parts for our cars – the lack of a… Read more

Got my vf8 back after 9 days in the shop for this new firmware update 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️… its left in factory mode, any ideas on how to exit out? .my app is useless while in factory mode.

Not sure how VF can say they have a 10 year – 125k mile warranty, when they obviously have not supplied the service centers and dealerships with the parts that are needed to make the necessary repairs! There are many that have been waiting months!

One thing NEW I have come across – I go into the office now 3 days a week and we have 10 or 12 ev chargers availabe free to us. You are limited to 2 hours per session to charge , if you go over its $10/hour. I have to walk down to the parking garage everyday around 1hr and 45mins, to stop the charging, manually remove the charger from the vf8,… Read more

You had some pretty high expectations! I reviewed this company and cat for 2-3 months before making the decision to lease – TWO vf8s from them – I understood there was going to be some slower than expected responses to issues – but I will agree with you for those who live out west – this company did a complete screw job! only 5 dealerships left…

Same as fisker going bankrupt last year. The bank.is responsible for.the vehicles, and they really dont want them. They will offer you the vehicles for 50% of the residual value, for example, a vf8 plus is worth about 22k today, so they will offer it to yiu for roughly 11k, you can say no, and they will take it back and resell it, or you can try…

All good things, must come to an end!

Considering VF has “thrown in the towel” on the USA – I am looking forward to October 1st 2025, when the Federal credits end – We should see not long after VF – Take the next step and do a full pull out of the USA. Its really sad, because having 2 vf8’s I have really enjoyed them, very few issues, and none major. Hopefully they do well in Asia and…

If you have tried two completly different chargers – you should book an appoitment at your local service center – I charge at home every night – on a level 2 50 amp charger – I get 11.5kw everytime.

I wish luck out west with “Repair Wise” Jesse – I have done some research on them, They are an “ONLINE” support company – They will try to walk you thru issues – before they book you to go into a shop – http://www.repairwise.pro

Send an email to – INFO.US@VINFASTAUTO.COM with your issue.

Dont waste your time with a level 1 charger! on a good day you will avg 1kw an hour – to charge from 20%-80% would take you 2.5 days! – Invest in a 40, 48, or 50 amp charger , get it directly wired into the breaker – bypass the wall outlet – if you use a wall outlet you will only be able to use 80% of the amps (example using a wall outlet with a…

What version of firmware are you running? open vinfast app – goto settings – Vech Software update – it will say FRS 8A.X.X.X

Open your vinfast app -Go to seetings- then Vehicle software update -What version software does it state you ave it will say FRA 8A.x.x.x

Yes – we charge both our vf8’s everyday – No issues

We charge both to 100% – if your leasing it – its a no brainer as the battery has a full warranty thru your lease.

If you bought the car out right and plan on keeping – You should prob charge 80-90%.

You need to update your firmware – it is a well documented bug!

You need to contact your service center and request the May 1st 2025 firmware update – 8.3.10.11 – That will address your charging issue! Also you will get new features – including charging scheduling – auto hold (no more rolling backwards or front wards) and a few others – I have had it installed since May 3rd, love it!

Anyone have release notes or info on this version?

Why would they need to reimburse you if you are charging at a level 3 location? FYI, I also have 2, 2024 vf8 plus’s and have zero issues with charging at home or at thrid party locations, like evgo, ea, etc!

A 100kw charger (LEVEL 3) will charger the car from 10% to 70% in an avg of 31 mins. – The battery max’s out at 150kw max charge. If you have a level 2 charger at home thats at least a 40amp, it should be more than enough to keep your car charged every night!

Pull the black negative terminal off the 12 volt battery in the frunk! let it sit for 10 mintues, put it back on, also delete the vinfast app from your phone and reinstall it – then try to sync the app back to the car. – A hard reset of the system, should address that issue.

Yep, You along with MANY others have done the same thing! You left your dealership – BEFORE – making sure they transferred ownership of the vinfast from them to you , IN THIER COMPUTER SYSTEMS! dont feel bad, seems like 1 in 10 do this! – You need to reach out to your dealership and have them update thier systems with vinfasts – it then takes…

Just an Update for you – I got the 8.3.10.11 firmware release a few weeks ago – it has the auto hold feature and its a GAME CHANGER – no rolling forward or backwards anymore!!!

Newest firmware 8.3.10.11 addresses the auto hold, works amazing!

Update, firmware 8.3.10.11 addresses this issue! I had it installed 2 weeks ago, it works up hills and down, definitely a game changer!

If your using a plug and not directly wired into the breaker – then this is how its suppose to work! you only can get 40A out of a wall plug. If you want the full 48A you will need to have the electrican wire it directly into the fuse box and bypass the outlet.

In the latest firmware release 3.10.10/.11 they have fixed this in the vf8 on the infotainment system.

Sounds like an issue with your adapter – If you can charge at other level 2 chargers with no issues – its 100% your adapter.

There are many factors Including the outside temp, the battery temp, how much current charge you have, etc! I always get over 100kw on DC3 chargers on both my VF8’s – I have a 50amp charger installed at home, wired directly into a 60 amp breaker – always get 48A/11.5kw – I also live in florida where its always warm!

Yep, I did. Pull the negative terminal off the 12 volt battery for 5-10 mins to do a hard reset of the system, then put it back on. You will need a 10mm wrench , it’s located in your trunk.

You need to submit a ticket to us vinfast support, have them reset your account.

The hold feature should be addressed in the next firmware release, should be out this month.
