    I actually think the City edition and the standard editions are the exact same vehicle. Reasoning pretty much exact same price so they are just software limiting it’s range which means they may allow to purchase range extenders for the city variants.

    Maybe this just wishful thinking. I will still hold off and see how the US reviewers go and decide on Vinfast, Fisker, or Tesla. Tesla has range and charging infrastructure

    As far as I am aware they will eventually. However, only VINFAST knows that answer. Right now all the vehicles coming in at first will more than likely only be for CA deliveries until they get it all set up. Now you can have your VINFAST delivered to SAN DIEGO and you pick it up their and drive it home or you might be able to set up a 3rd party delivery service after signing for the car. I am not sure they will ship to other states right off the bat. I think they will focus on mainly CA deliveries as they already have showrooms in the state and probably set up the logistics for everything their first.

    Hello yeah the pricing went up a lot more than what i was thinking it would. I do believe if you placed a reservation before a certain time that you are price locked in with the original pricing. So if you are part of the Pioneer program you are price locked at the cheaper rates.

    “Even before officially operating in Canada, Vietnamese automaker VinFast has made a sudden turn. The electric-vehicle company recently announced price hikes to its upcoming line of SUVs, the VF8 and VF9, though it has vowed to honour its lower prices offered before Sept. 1, 2022.

    Hello all I was at the Drive event in San Diego yesterday and one of the reps said the focus is first on the VF8s and then the VF9s which we already knew. However, they did mention end of year 2023 will be the earliest VF9s will be available.

    Reasoning they said were one they have to have models for demos for the showrooms and for test drives then the customers will get their vehicles so they put a deadline of end of year or beginning of 2024.
