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 Vietnam to put someone from US. You can’t control US market with Vietnam mindset. Even Hyundai took several decades and faced several backlashes before it could able to fully understand the US market. Does Vinfast has that much money and courage to withstand and grow? I think at this moment it is just draining the money out without any thought and strategy. I do have some stocks, but I am sure I can’t sell them for profit 😀. Not sure if they even honor my reservation at the price they promised in the beginning. Just felt like sharing my views being one of the initial subscribers.

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?

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.

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 foot. They can’t even think about VF9 at this time.

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.

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 seeing slowly people loosing interest even in posting their views in this forum looking at the last two weeks updates. The major big mistake VinFast did is bringing 1000 CE vehicles of 170 miles range first to US, when people are expecting their VF8s getting delivered. I guess the management is totally clueless. Not sure how many of those CEs got leased or sold so far, or they are using them just demo purpose. @vinfast response appreciated.
Also they should not be doing test drive on that small distance laid out track. It looks like a driving test rather than test drive. Going at 20, 30 miles for less than 5 minutes – who will get any good impression?

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.
