    There's too many paid ads that ONLY talk about great things with new cars. I've been a pretty vocal person AGAINST recent automotive journalism for its bias and finally, I think we maybe had a slight win. Maybe. The release of a car you've never heard of has reignited my soul that maybe, just maybe, people are truly out there looking out for the normies that use car reviews to actually buy cars. Ya know, like normal consumers. The Vinfast VF8 reception is one such vehicle. A company made by a Vietnamese brand which has rapidly launched into America. At a price of $49,000 to start, it's actually pretty competitive.
    But people don't only buy based on price, and according to reviews, Vinfast has a problem and they're aware of it. Building cars the right way, with the right functionality, is apparently tough. 111 vehicles leased and all had to be recalled for issues. Nevertheless I would have expected praise for it's "innovation" in the marketplace but instead, I'm seeing the opposite. So come by today's video where we chat about Vinfast, why it's a brand you probably never heard, why this release is so important past just itself, and what the future looks like for people who enjoy combustion motors in their cars vs. those that like to drive Iphone Apples.

      A Vietnamese national, native and still currently residing there (i.e., MYSELF) endorses the entirety of this statement. Bribery and at best, unregulated and definitely forbidden facilitation payments, are common place in all admin procedures. Just as an example: for a driving license in scooters, majority of people I know just pay a fee upfront to get it without even showing up to a driving test; for the automobile driving license, people can (and from my personal experience about 30% of people do) still pay a fee to skip certain segments/ portions of the test and to have the test conductor in the laws & theory section help you cheat (they pass you the answers either verbally or via a note).
      Anyway, Vin Group has such a tight grip on political power and control of the press that (1) yes, there being a rumor at all is surprising; and (2) not a surprise no details can be verified.

On top of that practically everything that is supposed to be functioning in an electric vehicle just the bare-bones basic stuff either froze or just never worked. Then they have the audacity to try to sell this vehicle for $70,000 it don't even Market this Vietnamese build vehicle in places like Little Saigon or even Beverly Hills instead they were go to Skid Row or Carson it just assume people will have interest in this. So for them to fail is no surprise especially since they thought they could sell over 50k vehicles in one year of release

There's a trend about stealing Kia cars aka Hyundai and posting on CZcams called Kia boys.

      Because it's standard fare in the automotive industry to introduce new technologies in luxury cars. Also, before the Model S, EVs had a bad reputation of being slow, low range, and dorky compliance cars (which to be fair many were) and the Model S changed the paradigm to make EVs desirable and cool, which put the car industry in that direction.

    VinFast started out with ICE cars by rebadging previous models from BMW and GM vehicles stylized by Pininfarina. I think they’ve completely done with ICE and only producing EVs. Most,if not all, of their parts are from China and it shows by their poor quality with many cars broke down or on fire in Vietnam. Many Vietnamese don’t take criticism of this brand very well so if you travel to Vietnam, it’s best if you don’t say anything

    I don’t want to jump on the hate bandwagon just yet (because I’ve never seen one in person) but I’m not going to praise the car either. Just based on looks, it’s nothing special. Just looks like they saw a Ford Escape, Honda CRV, Toyota RAV4 and said “let’s do the same thing but try to make it a different brand”. In terms of cool and different EV’s, I think the Dodge Hornet looks like the coolest thing out there. It’s sport looking, it has a cool name, it comes in cool colors, numbers are up to par with other EV’s but at least it doesn’t fall behind in any one thing. Pricing is also fair, starting at low 30k’s (MSRP).
    Now this thing, no brand identity, no real reviews, atrocious 0-60 and nothing to even make it look cool… yeahhhh this is a disaster just already in motion. If this brand wants to get serious about competing in the EV and automotive world, they need to bring in a sporty sedan or coupe as their halo car, something that’s similar in size to a Tesla Model 3, Toyota Camry, Honda Accord, and have it make some impressive numbers and have distinct exterior designs. If they can do that, and charge just a few thousand dollars below the others’ MSRP prices, then they’ll already have a lot of eyes on them.

    Nah! You have to drive it to believe it. If Vinfast had been bad, Sandy Munro would not have spent time making 2 videos about Vinfast VF8. Sandy Munro said in one of his VinFast VF8 videos, "VF8 is a family car, which eventually makes everyone happy." And it sure is. CZcamsr Kim Java has had a VF8 video. In her video A Tesla Family Takes on the All-New VinFast VF8, Kim Java, cameraman-her husband, and their 3 young children seemed to totally enjoy the driving experience of the VF8 in California. The family SUV VF8 in fact keeps the kids safe.

That's called prejudice but time will change perception. I hope you too will come to accept Vinfast as a reality. Vinfast has decided to plant the flag in North America first to test the water but it intends to go global. There is a big market for EVs in Southeast Asia and Europe, not just the US. The founder of Vinfast, Mr Vuong can be considered a national hero because he lays the foundation for Vietnam to escape the status of a low income economy and progress to reach the status of a developed high income country, thus following in the footsteps of Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Singapore. Vietnamese are known for their strong will and tenacious in their determination to succeed. Vinfast will not let despicable people like Kyle from Out of Spec Review, Jalopnik, etc.. who deliberately set out to sabotage its plans to get established in America.

    When a negative post about Vinfast cars appears, one can notice there are two kinds of people who give their comments. There are people who accept the bad review at its face value without question and chime in, they behave like sheep following herd instinct. On the other hand, there are rational people who prefer to test drive the VF8 in person before formulating their own opinion rather than relying on hearsays from unreliable sources. There are people who deliberately set out to bash Vinfast like Jalopnik, out of spite, prejudice or being paid to damage Vinfast's business prospect in America. The worst case is Kyle Conner from Out of Spec Reviews, he made up his mind prior to coming to a Vinfast Center to test drive VF8 (czcams.com/video/rjee1LdmHbo/video.html). He was not even at the driver seat, the test drive being conducted by a Vinfast personnel. He seized every opportunities to disparage Vinfast cars, I would not be surprised to find him banished from Vinfast show rooms. The public deserves an unbiased, honest review to help them decide whether to make the purchase.
    It's noteworthy to quote a few people who posted a honest review of the VF8:
    Kim Java - A Tesla Family Takes On the All-New VinFast VF8 (czcams.com/video/t1Qaf9lXx8U/video.html)

    This Vinfast thing reminds me of Doug Demuro's review of the BYD Han, and that if the market set aside their biases and prejudices about China and Chinese brands and evaluated the car for what it was, BYD would sell tens of thousands of Hans a year in the US, because it is not only a great EV, but a great car, period. And while BYD has been around for longer than Vinfast has, they too had a period of skepticism and bad cars, but they got better, improved their designs, their build quality, and now BYD is the #1 EV maker in the world, with Tesla in second place.

Anyway, their breakeven point is around 60K car and they will have a bit profit start from 2024. From that they will firmly expand to global market and believe in me, they will be successful

    I don't care how people who have never owned Vinfast rate it. The truth is that Vinfast sold an equal number of VF8 cars in Vietnam in the first three months of 2023 as Toyota sold BZ4 EVs in the Chinese market. So the VF8 is not bad either. In Vietnam every year, about 500,000 cars are sold while in China it is about 26.8 million cars, about 50 times more than the Vietnamese market.

    I've seen picture of a trafic accident between a VF8 and a Korean car. The VF8 was hit on the passenger side but the VF8 driver got out unscathed whereas the front of the Korean car was mangled beyond recognition, thus showing that Vinfast cars are solidly built and achieved highest safety ratings. EVs are driven by softwares and most new EVs that come out are beset with software glitzes. Vinfast cars are no exception but they endeavor to fix glitzes and issue updates. Vinfast welcome people pointing out shortcomings and bringing to their attention so they can serve customers better. Vinfast just brings out a new policy of paying customers for reporting any fault of their car. Customers can take their car to Vinfast Service Center to get new updates or just simply turn on WiFi of the car, get on the internet, contact Vinfast and they wil send updates over the air. There is the 8.7.8 update which extends the range of VF8 to 510km.
    The VF8 is a safe vehicle, has ADAS which help the car keep within lane in case the driver got distracted or sleepy at the wheel, thus helping with safety. People will find driving VF8 is a safe and enjoyable experience. The faults you refer to pertain to the 1st batch of 999 VF8s City Edition and are just hearsays, those cars must have received updates by now. The way you describe the faults in a mocking attitude is deplorable, just like the way people used to sneer at Japan some decades ago. The way you describe a product from a developing country can be treated as prejudice, it's uncalled for. You are such a clown.
