Top reason for me is first version by a no name company. Not hating on anyone, just a lot of money and high risks. Maybe I will purchase when they come out with second generation.
Tom, let me humbly add one more point (which is very important to North American buyers of EVs), which is ease of charging on the go. I don't think VinFast will have its own supercharging network anytime soon, nor do its cars have one of the fastest charging speeds. And, many people drive over 50 miles per days in USA for work and errands. I have colleagues who drive from Sacramento to Palo Alto to work everyday, 4 to 5 days a week.
1) Startup sequence: it looks like it's a software issue. If the software remembers an owner's previous settings then the startup time will be much quicker. If your car's software version is 8.7.8 then it will remember all the settings except drive mode. th-cam.com/video/PeYl8hVyMn4/w-d-xo.html 2) Software and hardware: agreed 3) Range: VF8 actual range is about 210 to 220 miles which is better than EPA number but still not as good as other cars. I've heard Vinfast is working with CATL to address the issue. Remember VF6 is a bit heavier than most EVs which also contributes to the issue. 4) Driving quality: driving experience is more than just shock absorption. It includes acceleration and speed, handling and steering, braking, ride comfort, noise and vibration, safety features and interior features. You just pick one and ignore the rest which might be irrelevant to other users because the road in their countries is better than in Vietnam. 5) Agreed. Let's hope that they will do it better in the next version of VF8 and other models such as VF9, VF6 and especially VF7
Going with I'm wondering if CATL? I wonder if it is not too late? I also wonder if they didn't go to fast. They didn't check the competition? The cars looks beautiful, but the range... I can't even imagine it during winter, it will be ridiculous. The problem is, you don't have a second chance to do a first impression. I frankly don't know why they didn't put the breaks and sit down, fix the range first and then release the car 🤦🏽♂️
@@chaudcola seriously why it's too late? They know the range is limited but still release it at a discount of $3,000 with the new name (city edition) and is still working on the standard edition.
visited dealership yesterday and they told me that the range for VF8 is 470km (295 miles), at startup you only need your phone loaded with the VINfast App to get it started, plus there is a facial recognition camera in the steering wheel column which will automatically apply your personal seat and mirror settings. I think this is a brand new car company, and there are still many bugs and continuous improvements to be made, and those should roll out with the over the air updates. I am considering getting one........but still trying to absorb all the info i can.
If Vinfast continues improving their products and Vietnamse consumers keep supporting them, Vietnam will have an auto industry within 20 years. Every other country in Asia has to go through the same process and Vietnam is not an exception.
@@johndoe3092 that's because Vietnamese market is too small. If Vietnamese continues supporting homegrown car brands, it will have a chance to make it to the US and Europe in the future.
@@johndoe3092 cos the president of vinfast is overwhelmed with ambitiousness and lack of enthusiasm on a specific product. He just wants to do sth big because he can do it. Don't know if he's burning or laundering the money
What you said is there is a flaw in its design. I was from Vietnam and I would not buy that vehicle a t all. The vehicle I am looking at will be a new tesla!
good on you Tom thanks for telling the true 👍👍👍 with your comments: Sorry Tom ,there are too many thief in Vietnam that why it made you so hard to start the car, for software and hardware not work well because it only in testing stage but the boss want money back quickly just in case testing fail . The Vietnamese mentality is no trust credibility sell quick if problem come just close the company , than open up another company to start again no harm mate
Totally agree with Tom Peng at “#5 no selling point” Tesla ev cars versus vinfast ev cars on the real market 2023, just early 6 months of the year. In the first half of this the year VinFast delivered 11,300 EVs, according to a company presentation. By comparison, Tesla delivered more than 889,000 vehicles in the same period.

Everything mentioned is exactly right but let’s not forget Vinfast is a young company and have achieved beyond expectations when so many others have failed. They will improve with time and need comments like yours to succeed. Cheers
Haiyaa... Tom Peng, don't 貪平 (have google pronounce in Cantonese for the pun)。 Get a Tesla, you won't get so many censored cus word beeping all the time. Just kidding. I do enjoy the video. keep up the good work.

The number 1 reason not to buy the VF8, IS it's engineered, produced, and manufactured in Vietnam. Vietnamese is best at making Cafe sua da, banh mi, pho and che, not an EV LOL
they once thought that about S.KOREA cars - KIA and HYUNDAI.....lol (all we thought about coming from a poor country like Korea was eating kimchi / grilled pork belly / rice balls / bibimbap / galbi / etc....)
There’s TWO reasons NOT to buy vinfast: 1/ vinfast lied to it customers - 90 % parts of the car were made in …… 2/ 90% parts of vinfast cars were made in China .
Don’t need 5 reasons but just one, it is fatal. A family of 4 got killed this week for driving this shit box in a fatal accident in Pleasanton, California.
ok-first sequence, so with all the PUSH BUTTON start-up cars on the road nowadays, y'all gonna die from the VN Loan Shark Gangsta or Crazy EX-wife......LOL (but I am surprised you don't need a door code to open it up, see how easily the door was unlocked...?!?)........LOL
I am very interested in your views on the VF8. I'd love to see you drive around down-town Hanoi. Did you get to drive one in Vancouver? Great video! (BTW I'm not stalking you! I have driven a VF8; Visited Vancouver and Hanoi.) Thanks.
I wonder if the VinFast being built in Chatham County, NC will be built better. I received an email from VinFast today 7/9/23 when i asked about their lease payments and if colors are extra. Color is extra for deep ocean $990 and warranty on battery is 10 yrs/unlimited miles. They said they have VF8 plus, VF8 eco, VF8 city. Range are different on all three. Lease payment is $479 a month with $4,679 down. With all the problems you are having over there and not sure if they will here, since being built in U.S.
Tom, no 5 summarizes it all ! The car should be half the price, then it would sell. The way it looks,drives, feels inside(that awful elephant skin imitation leather everywhere yukkkk) merits half the money !
yep, just like in all my Push Start Cars....get in the seat, put on the seatbelt, press your foot on the brakes, press START button....did not have to enter CAR CODE though.....Hmmm.....LOL (also adjust the mirrors due to any shorties who drove it previously.......lol)
You would be dead faster if your crazy ex bf chases you ( supposed you're gay). Men are faster than women when it comes to running. And when you were trying to start the car, he can smash the car's windows.
Not BYD batteries. Have you seen how BYD EV and buses in China got burst in flames? Either develop their own or source or from like LG or Panasonic. Yes, every EV batteries burst into flames, but the BYD is more trouble than any other EVs.
i'd love to see a successful vietnamese car manufacturer but they're missing the mark! make a decent car that's cheaper than your competitors and go up from there - that's how hyundai and kia did it.
Bravo Tom 👍. You have the courage to tell people exactly how the thing is 🙏 Unlike other under influence youtubers.
Oh no! Tom has to be hiding now. VinFast has called the police to come and arrest Tom for spreading lies! LMFAO SMH

What a great non-biased review! Thank you good sir Tom Peng 🙏
Finally a review of the vf8 from an actual owner. Thanks
have you watched his other video about 7 reasons why you should buy VF8? lol
6:29 250 km per full charge ?! That is 155 miles. So EPA initial assessment of 170 miles is already generous to Vinfast.😀
Priced at $50-60k and under. 200 miles. Vinfail
@@anekinoo7 Nah, more like VinCrap.
@@anekinoo7 it actually 250 miles per full charge (technichlly). Irl, it actually go more 250 miles per full charge
The range suck on this car I drive at least 400 miles a week perhaps more
This ride do not sound so comfortable. Thank you sir for your honesty
It’s Electric, why does it need a startup sequence?

"Vietnamese use Vietnam products" ?! Then why bother to sell the car in America or Europe?!

Actually the selling point could be safer for first drivers like young adults because you have to have your eyes on the road, otherwise it warns you
Will they go bankruptcy?
Did you test Fisker Ocean?
Starting sequence is for careless driver as Tom Peng
What you said is there is a flaw in its design. I was from Vietnam and I would not buy that vehicle a t all. The vehicle I am looking at will be a new tesla!
Great review...thanks!
Drove past VinFast dealership yup their lot was packed w VF8.
VinFast Battery subcription fees? Did they do away with the subcription fees for the life of the vehicle?
What do you mean you can't get any other cars in Vietnam?
Agree with every point especially the bad driving quality. I got car sick test driving this car.. I wasn't even the passenger.
good on you Tom thanks for telling the true 👍👍👍

Well done Tom great video . I hope you have better luck with your new car . I think you should have kept your Mercedes. 😢
I bought one last week. It runs great. They are working the bugs out
What about the range?

If you keep churning out honest reviews on vf8 you will eventually get 0 views from Vietnamese in VN.. haha..
Who cares about commies.

And stuck cheap cars idea in customers mind, like kia - huyndai - deawoo.
