2024 VinFast VF8 Review! The VF8 is a fully electric crossover from a Vietnamese brand that nobody in America has ever heard of. It has been criticized for just about everything, today I am going to figure out if it deserves that reputation. I'll review this new VinFast VF8 and I'll show you the many quirks and features. I'm also going to get behind the wheel and show you what it's like to drive.

Doug, glad to have you review and test drive the VinFast VF8. I am one of the early adopters of the first model, the 2023 VF8 Plus City Edition. Drove everyday with more than 22,000 miles for more than 13 months before I upgraded to the 2024 model. Never had big issues with the 2023 City Edition, other than a few software updates. Love driving it, especially the ADAS on Sacramento freeways during commute, and never look back to ICE cars. Still get positive compliments from other drivers on regular basis. Many people liked the design because it looks more like a normal SUV, and they particularly loved the luxurious and spacious interior. For those interested in learning about my user/owner experience with the VF8, I shared many videos on my channel.

A lot of people forget that Pininfarina didn't only work for high-end sportscar manufacturers. They were a design studio devoted to many other vehicles that are similarly anonymous such as the Hyundai Matrix, Daewoo Lacetti, the newest Mitsubishi Lancer, and several Peugeot sedans, so seeing them do a more high production model isn't that unusual. I also had to laugh when Doug was complaining about the anonymous styling both inside and out. It sounds like his big complaint is that there are almost no "quirks and features" for him to point out.

Other crying issues about the vehicle that i have not experienced. The problem is these guys dont own the vehicle. Theres a difference in having it as your personal vehicle and just sitting in it for 20 minutes. The vehicle has a 10 year warranty. Since i got this vehicle they havent failed to deliver their support or concerns everytime i contact them.

Honestly, I am very impressed with VinFast's electric car models. When I was in Vietnam, I used many public transportation services, including the taxi service with VinFast electric cars. Even though I was only in the back passenger seat or the front passenger seat, I could feel the excellent quality of the car, with smooth, reliable, and solid performance. I have used cars like the S450, Macan Turbo S, GLC250, and 4Runner, and I'm pretty sure that if I have the opportunity, I will try to own my first electric car, either the VF8 or VF9. People in Canada will definitely find the VF8 and VF9 intriguing.

In Vietnam, Japanese and Korean cars were once revered, and Vinfast cars were disliked more than anywhere else in the world. However, Vinfast now has a larger market share than any other car brand in Vietnam. When buying my car, I was sure I would choose a brand like Toyota, Ford, Kia, or Hyundai. Vinfast was somewhere at the bottom of my priority list. However, after test driving it twice, I decided to buy a Vinfast. What I like most about Vinfast is the comfortable, solid, and safe driving experience. In Vietnam, many people jokingly call Vinfast a tank because of its sturdiness and its ability to protect the driver in serious accidents

I like Vinfast VF8. Why? It's because I am driving one. I used to spend $100 on filling up the gas tank of the same size gas-powered SUV, but I now pay only about $40 to charge from 12% to 90% ($0.58/kWh for non-member if you're a member, you pay only $0.40/kWh, and you would pay about $33, stead of $40) at a supercharging Electrify America. With a 65% battery from 80% down to 15% on a single charge, my VF8 Plus can go roughly 170 miles during the normal weather condition in California! The best thing is now that I don't have to nervously look at the gasoline prices whenever driving past a gas station! Also, I no longer smell or see any oil leaks on my garage floor. YESSSS!

Currently (no pun intended) a lease on a VF8 in Canada is unbeatable. I see a lot of them in and around Montreal. Vinfast's rookie mistake was to release this model to reviewers before it was fully ready, but to their credit they took the criticisms on board and fixed them.

Also the “half click” does a 3 blink flash so tbh I find myself just flicking the turn signal with the half click for a quick 3 blink when changing lanes. The turn signals cancel natural when making a full turn . So cancelling with the half click is a non issue 99% of the time. It is a needless change tho.

Their previous carmaking experience was essentially 4-5 years of making rebodied BMWs and Chevys, and they've never designed an entire car themselves. Thankfully EVs aren't TOO complicated to make. Hire the Italians to draw the body and interiors. Hire the Chinese to source the battery and drivetrain systems. Hire some Indians to write some of the software. Hire some Germans to consult on building a modern(ish) car factory. Slap all those things together. Hence you get a working car, but not well integrated car, since all the different major components were farmed out and quickly slapped together.

Se Asian market is dominated by Japanese cars and now Chinese EVs. Vinfast has no chance up against Chinese EVs

20 years from now: Man in auto parts store: “I’m restoring a vinfast and need a screen display chip.” “You’re restoring a what?” “A vinfast” “Good luck with that. Next customer!”

At least there will still be engine parts available for the LS-swap it got in year 9.

at least hyundai and kia started w/ a humble price tag in the 90s. unless you are a Vietnamese consulate, who would pay such a price for a car like this?

Japan and Korea's strategy are the reason why they have the reputation they have today, unlike Vietnam who started expensive in a crowded market in AMERICA

Even China struggles to sell cars outside Asia let alone Vietnam. Korea and Japan are on top league for sale with France, Germany, UK etc

Lmao dude that was the 90’s. Everything is expensive now because of inflation and they were not producing electric cars in the 90s 🤣. Electric cars are just more expensive to produce unlike Ice cars.

@@gerdz101 have you noticed that vinfast costs more than a tesla or a mach e? Point is, japanese and korean cars started as a bang for the buck alternative to the american and european offering, taking feedbacks and gradually improving. Why would i spend more for a car that does not have proven technology, charging, and basically no brad equity, over likes of a model y?

@@redbullrobert The features offered on the Vinfast are far more luxurious than the boring minimalist Model Y. Model Y is cheaper for a reason. If you want an iPad on Wheels, Tesla is for you.

Vinfast is today’s Mitsubishi of the EV industry… speaking on design language & offering compared to competitors. Hopefully they improve more as they stay in the market & EVs evolve.

Likely the "calibrate" function on the sunroof is so the car can relocate its position after a dead battery. I've seen similar situations with power windows and power convertible tops.
