There’s a video already on YouTube about the common 12v battery creating a system shutdown of the VF8. They had to go through a whole reboot with Vinfast customer service to fix it. I hope They can software patch the phantom drain on the 12v battery.

I opted For the same. I’m going back and forth between the black and brown interior. It’s hard to decide until I sit in a few. The green paint really caught my attention.

The only downside is when the battery is full or topped off, regenerative breaks may not be available at first. What is VF doing to prevent this or considering so that we may have them available even at the start of the…
