    Why not but don’t think there will be enough of a market: all those vouchers are valid only for car deliveries by end of 2023. And I think vinfast will deliver way fewer cars than the number of existing pioneer NFTs by then. The tax credit isn’t transferable either.

    As part of the official statement “the VF 8 City Edition’s battery range has been recently certified by EPA
    at 179 miles for the Eco and Plus models (…) It will be improved with a software update and the new range is expected to be announced by the end of January 2023.”

    So yes it’s what we were thinking. I’m sure they can get a bit of improvement with some SW optimization but nowhere near the expected target 🙁 That probably doesn’t bode well for the VF9 either.

    Still 0 votes for the “City Edition”. I’m curious if VF will actually be able to sell them all 999.

    Another odd thing is when I chatted with a representative they said that the city edition has the standard 87.7kWh battery. So it’s possible they just designed a very inefficient car and they can only get 180 miles EPA of range out of the standard battery, so they had to rebrand it as “City Edition” in a rush.

    I no longer see target range values on the vinfast website either.

    We’ll know pretty soon first hand, they’re planning to deliver the first VF8 to the US customers on December 26th, right?

    One of the reps on the online chat still said Q1-Q2 for CA for the VF9. We’ll have to wait and see 🤞

    The specs list a 10-70% in 35min for the VF9 extended range. That would give an average of 125kW. So the peak is probably around 150kW but most likely not 250 or 350. I’m sure we’ll know more when the first vehicles are in the hands of the customers 🙂

    I still don’t see where are the points. I think I got a notice on the first day that I got 500 points but not sure where they are 🙂

    Looks like it’s back online! Just not sure how to get to the VIP status. Probably just keeping on posting around here 🙂

    Hi, do we have any info on the cargo space with the 3rd row up vs down? Hope I can fit all my family stuff in 🙂
