Vinfast entered US market with very big wrong foot. So many mistakes in its strategies and decision makings, starting from pricing to delivering sub standard mileage vehicles and promises that they can’t keep. If it want to continue in US markets, then it should start changing its total organization strategies first by removing top level from…

65k is still too high for eco trim, considering the battery give below 300 miles, and spending over 10-15k just for massage chairs is meaning less. As per the current configuration 3rd row seats are not very comfortable for adults on a long drive. And most of all the quality and performance still needs to be proven on road. Not sure how many will…

What will be the price of VF9 for early registers in US? Is the battery lease option still in place or not? I booked for VF9 plus, but as per the current sticker price shown on website which is 91k is way too high for any reasonable buyer of Vinfast. I am expecting it around 55k for regular modal and 60k for VF9 PLUS. Do you guys agree?

Mine does. I have Tesla Modal Y Long Range, which gives me 330 miles. When you change it to 95% and not to exceed 75 miles per hour, I can easily travel 300 miles without a recharge.

Except the 10 year warranty the other features mentioned are nice to have features but not must for many. May be must have for a premium vehicles. When I looked at various online video reviews about cheap plastic material, I am not sure if VF comes under a premium quality. Driving experience, acceleration and handling – I would like to know from…

What are the things that you don’t have it in Tesla and have them in VF. How is the drive compared to Tesla? Can you also compare the build and material quality of Tesla and VF8?

For any car if you can’t drive 150 miles to nearest city and reach back home safely without charging in between, then spending a 50k is a big waste of money. This is my personal opinion.

Wow, now the price increased to $91,000? Basically you don’t want to sell it to middle class. Should have mentioned it on your website – “Not for an ordinary people” 🙂

VF8 – around 250 miles US standard mileage Starting price 49k

VF9 – around 300 miles US standard mileage Starting price 83k

For one additional row of seats & 50 extra miles – price difference 34K

What else is the major difference? What is in their mind????

I booked for vf9 and would want to wait until I get the battery subscription back as part of the original promise. We can’t afford to spend 80K on a totally new brand without knowing how the service and support is going to be and how the performance in the long run will be, without having some peace of mind of battery subscription in place and…

How is the mileage? Does it really giving 190+ miles as they promised or you need to charge only 90% and gives around 150 miles are so? Did you install charger at home?

So far they haven’t able to bring VF8 on the roads successfully in US. Their pricing strategy is not good. Not sure if they have real market analysts working in US. If they think just by spending millions on showrooms and advertising will bring them customers without even providing real test drives on the roads, then they are starting on wrong…

I did that. But it is still showing as fully refundable on their website. May be because they haven’t promised any price that is acceptable to us at the time of contract. And the way they are pricing the vehicles not sure what benefits we early bookers will get at the time of delivery.

Anybody in this forum bought/leased VF8 in US so far? Would you like to share your experience?

Based on current customer reviews, quality of VF8 so far is far below of Tesla Model Y. Tesla Model Y long range 330 miles – now selling at around 54K (on the top you get 7,500 tax credit if you get it deliver before March ’23. Can VinFast VF8 beat that price and comes within the price range (40k-45k) with battery? I doubt they do that. Also…

Guys who drove the car at night, said the cameras quality is terrible at night & Display touch screen is too clumsy with cheap quality icons too many colors etc., I am not sure if VinFast people are reading and considering the customer opinions. Hope they don’t bring half cooked cars into US as high prices. It will be very bad for them if they…

$110 for VF8 & $140 for VF9 as far as I remember. Now they removed all your reservation details and initial offer details removed from their web site. We can’t even check what they offered / promised us at the time of signing.

Do you have a list of first signed up members? Can you share with us. I guess I should be in that list as I signed up immediately after I got the mail.

Me too will hold it and see, since my battery subscription price is $140 per month at the time of booking and hope they honor all the additional promises they made with the signed contract.

The way they are increasing the price without even selling their first car, not sure if they even honor our early reservation price and benefits they promised by the time they start delivering VF9, which might happen end of 2023 or early 2024. I am not sure if they deliver me vehicle until their NC plant start producing VF9.

50K for UP TO 180 miles range will be a big NO for 99.99% of Interested buyers. I am sure. 30 to 35K may be a reasonable price in US, considering the brand that is not yet proven its name. Still I doubt. BTB, I booked for VF9 and waiting to see what all will change when I get a call.

Those test-drive tracks are very short. Not sure if you even reached 60mph at any point. I booked for vf9. Want to make sure it is really good and don’t regret my decision since it is huge amount on a car that has no brand name yet.

I heard from some initial reviewer who test drived the vehicle saying that VF8 acceleration performance depends on its current battery charge level. Is that is true.

Never heard that any current EV vehicle do that. Want to know if that is an absurd statement. It doesn’t make any sense.
