I think I only a very few care about 0-60 times.

that would be a no and a no. And no mention since joining. Perhaps we got points that we don’t even see yet? 😜

oh boy. they scrubbed some more very recently. It was still in the drop down menu and in the FAQs. Now gone from those areas. Yikes. They kill the battery subscription for everybody, I’m out.

Decided to try the ‘instant chat’ feature and got this:

Brandon (12/22/2022, 3:54:39 PM): Hello! Welcome to VinFast instant chat. My name is Brandon, how may I help you?
Scott (12/22/2022, 3:55:01 PM): has the battery lease option been removed? it’s been scrubbed from the website.
Brandon (12/22/2022, 3:56:19 PM): Hi Scott, I know that the battery leasing option has not been removed completely
Brandon (12/22/2022, 3:56:46 PM): the reason we took it down because we are still under operation to get that option going, and we will get it back on when it is ready
Scott (12/22/2022, 3:57:03 PM): ah, ok. was a bit worried.
Brandon (12/22/2022, 3:58:19 PM): I understand sir, at this time from what I know, there has not been any notification about removing that option. We are still finalizing our sale plan for that at the moment
Brandon (12/22/2022, 3:58:39 PM): If there are any changes, we will definitely send out a press release

I’m pretty sure this was born on reddit. Very sure it is total horse poo. My test drive the battery wasn’t at 80% and the drive was wild. The prof driver really drove the course. Me, not being familiar took it a bit easier. Full throttle (in the rain) was quite pleasant.

I”m hearing there will be another test drive event closer to me and I’ll go again and this time really pay attn to the battery level……

the 0-60 is the ‘target’ for the Plus trim. A target not matched with the press in Vietnam during their test drives; more like 6 seconds plus.

Think HP is still the target vs an actual as well.

I”m still a no. The battery subscription reduces the price by $15k. That is a huge thing to loose…..

You can be dishonest and not actually be ‘lying’ a word I didn’t use, btw. One of the ‘perks’ vinfast said came with being a vinfirst(er) is we’d get, in advance, communication ie before journalists or we stumbled across on the website. That has not happened……..at all….so far.

Look at the facts: they knew before November that the first 999 would not be even close to what they said were the ‘targets’. Not even in the ballpark. In fact, they knew shortly after producing the first of the 999. What did they decide to do? Send an email about an offer to buy a trim we had not heard of and to this day is not on the website. And, btw, range might be 180 (on this they were close they are 179). AND we decided to remove the battery lease, but here’s a few grand off a price that is high for a 179 mile range vehicle.

I call that being dishonest and ‘hiding’ the details. What could have been the right way? Telling us the before they shipped; explaining why the battery lease was not available. Simple. Now they have a PR mess.

Don’t get me wrong I’m sticking with my reservation turned to order. The overall deal is still hard to beat by competitors. Longer I wait, is the longer I don’t have a car payment. Another benefit. BUT the communication has to improve to avoid future PR whoopes.

There are reservations for the Blazer? Dang, I’m just on the interest list….

I’m sticking w Vinfast as long as possible. Hard to beat the deal Vinfast pioneers get. And that is a.s.summing the battery subscription stays an option.

Plus longer I go longer I go wo car payments. 👍🏻
