  3. Vinfast đi sau tesla mà bây giờ đã bỏ xa tesla về công nghệ hiện đại .được khách hàng thế giới lựa chọn giải được ưa thích nhất trong năm 2024 tại Mỹ.

  7. The first batch of VF8 cars sold in the US had some software errors, but they have been updated, and the new battery has been upgraded for a range of about 420km. Currently, VF8 cars are very stable, and they have many models, A,B,C,D for customers to choose from.

  9. The biggest problem for vinfast honestly us that the cars looks so generic, if you told me the VF8 was a nissan or a KIA, or even a French shitbox renalt i would absolutely believe you.

  10. Things to know when using Vinfast:

    Vinfast is not a manufacturer but an assembler of used furniture from China and Germany

    Main headquarters in Singapore.

    SPAC failed when investing in Vinfast

    Spare parts must depend on foreign countries because there are no steel factories. Very expensive.

    in America:

    Vietnam has an area equivalent to the US state of New Mexico, 331,689 km2, and is 30 times smaller than the United States (50 states).

    and more than 345 million population, so based on the number of Vinfast cars in circulation is 0 because the ratio is insignificant.

    Charging stations are too limited.

    Circulating in a few states.

    Vinfast car repair station is considered 0.

    Providing parts for vehicles is considered 0.

    Selling used cars is considered to have no market.

    The investment lost billions of dollars and continued to lose money until death. Currently a loss of 1600,000,000 million / $1.6 billion

    In Viet Nam:

    The population is about 100 million.

    It is estimated that there are about 35,000 Vinfast cars, electric bicycles, and two-wheeled electric vehicles in circulation from North to South (Based on statistics provided to the US). Compared to foreign cars, the comparison ratio is still very low. The ironic thing is that the children and grandchildren of party officials mostly like European, Japanese, American cars, etc.

    Vehicle services are also very limited, troublesome, and time-consuming.

    The vast majority of people are poor, so the streets are full of two-wheeled gasoline cars made in China

    Led by Hammer and Sickle, AK 45.

    The truth does not need to be discussed.

    No one forbids it from being a farce, enslaving or working for the communists because in America freedom is almost not found in other parts of the world. The choice between free Vietnamese and freedom under the Hammer and Sickle led by the party and its descendants is also an issue that needs to be thought through carefully because history is still there. More than 3 million people died unjustly at the hands of Ho Chi Minh and the Communist Party, the majority of whom were descendants of free Vietnamese people.

    Be very careful because the souls of our loved ones who died in pain and injustice have not yet been released, and at the same time we are being manipulated by them to spit in our own faces.

    PLEASE DON'T GRIND YOUR TEETH OR WRATH ANGERLY BECAUSE VINFAST'S CAR HAS SYMPTOMS OF STANDING ON THE ROAD, STILLS, FIRE, SEXY JUMPING SCREEN, OR LACK OF DEMAND, ETC. BECAUSE THAT IS YOUR BEST CHOICE. I ALSO? OH THE KIND OF LACK OF UNDERSTANDING, BAD HEADS, LOSS OF IDENTITY, WHO ONLY HAVE MONEY, WHAT DO YOU WASTE TIME WITH THEM FOR!

  15. I must admit, Vinfast is a good looking SUV, that said anything that isn't a BLAND Tesla is a breath of fresh air these days. A 10 year 120000 warranty is great but does Vinfast have the infrastructure in place to support warranty claims? Tesla still doesn't. What happens if Vinfast goes under and no longer makes cars?

  16. Apart from the over 100 Chinese BEV manufacturers with pretty nice builds I will just mention XPENG's G6 here. Hope Vinfast aces it, too. As a German I can't stand European, US and Japanese legacy auto. Fun to see how they are going down.

  17. What is funny is this is considered one of the worst review cars (not just EVs) in recent times. I’m guessing that check that Alex got for this review was pretty damn good.

  21. It's a decent EV with some cool features but it's already not doing very well in the US. Heck, in 2022 they lost over $2 billion dollars alone.

  22. I don't like the Tesla for its customer service… abusive and manipulative practices and the total control over all aspects of the product. I don't want a xar that can be hijacked or controled by any company or law enforcement just based on suspicion.

  23. Vinfast looks like a real car, Tesla doesn’t. Don’t get me wrong, I love Elon, but dam the cars are ultra bland. Although vinfast looks more like a proper car, it looks like it stole GM’s Vauxhall “V” (now Peugeot s Vauxhall ). So, to me, Vinfast screams GM. And to go from zero to mass market production in only 5 years is rare, I suspect it’s either GM or SAIC under the skin, SAIC and GM being the same anyway. Would still buy Tesla although it’s boring, I think it always aims to get better, where GM aims to make profit from repairs and replacements.

  25. Buttons? We don't got to show you no buttons! (Apologies to Eli Wallach). Now I'm def with you on the air vents. Sheesh! I wish Tesla would let me totally shut my air vents while my dear partner is blasting the AC at 65deg and I'm freezing over here! Elon, if you are following Mr. E here, please give me a way to do that. OTA please! Cheers and drive safely (with all those buttons to search through).

  32. It’s already out priced and outdated. As the Volvo EX30 comes in at $35,000 midlux crossover. Vinfast was just eliminated as an option to Americans.

  34. All the features you mentioned in vinfast can be found in the kia ev6…which also gives you a 10 yr warranty…for vinfast to even make a dent in the u.s. or anywhere else in the world their car better be reliable and A LOT cheaper than the rest….if they sold them for $25k then they might have a chance.😄

  35. Yeah, I was rather saddened by this video, because it felt a bit… hypocritical..? Clickbaitish…?

    You can't list 5 reasons this "crushes" Tesla and reason one because it is the shiny new EV on the block…. that is not a feature that crushes anything.

    I have personally never cared for Android Auto or Apple Carplay… so the loss of either one of those is no loss for me personally. I actually prefer the Tesla interface, or whatever factory Nav system comes with the car, every time.

    But the worst part was… the criticism of Tesla when the channel was talking about the dreadful experience of the ID4, and mentioned specifically that VW had way more service locations that Tesla.

    Ok Ok… that is a fair point. But… Vinfast has how many service centers so far…??? Around 10 or so… basically concentrated in Southern CA and the Bay Area. That is it!

    It comes with roadside assistance, 24/7. Great! We got you covered 24/7/365… SWEET! Oh… there is a little * here… what does that mean…?

    *Mobile service is currently available exclusively within service ranges in the State of California.

    Oh, OK. So you got Roadside Assistance 24/7/365, as long as you don't leave CA. Not in 50 states, or 48… ONE state?

    Soooo… a Vietnamese automaker that has delivered 45 cars so far, and already issued its first recall. Not to pile on here, but I don't think this is leaving anyone warm and fuzzy. Especially after the cough* cough Byton fiasco….

  37. That's interesting, but as Vietnam is also like China a one party autocratic dictatorships with wages of around 50cents/h (china 1-2 €/h) it's not interesting for me. At least you probably have less spyware in car and app, but I might be wrong. What's in your opinion the most fair EV?

  39. Nice to see you back in business. I hope you're well. Ironically, you will arrive in Thailand just as the Electric Viking leaves, for different reasons. You two are my favourite youtubers.

  42. The only thing that puts me off the Vinfast is the whole battery rental thing ( here in Australia at least, it seems that they are only renting the battery to you and that rental is on top of the purchase price of the car) But from from that, from what I've seen of the car, I'd happily have one.

  44. As an ID.4 owner I am also thinking about replacing my ID.4 with the Ford Mustang Mach E, but it seems that the Mach E has the same poor experience with OTA updates. Many Mach E owners here in Italy reports no OTA updates at all, so what? Maybe Mach E owners in US are luckier? What is your view on this?

  45. You make some good points, but this "subscription" bullshit has to stop. I buy the car, I buy all of the features, for the life of the car. So I wish that journalists would excuse this inexcusable behavior by manufacturers. It's a money grab. If they can hobble features, then it's not my car — it's theirs.

  49. its fine but the whole battery rental stuff is ridiculous. Its been shown to be inefficient and not very well put together. It may be a good vehicle but its way to early to say if its a success or junk
