Never thought I’d see you do a commercial for a car manufacturer on your own channel.

It's just a matter of personal preference. In fact, I have driven a VF8 Plus for about one month and I love it. The EV has been great so far after over 600 miles (about 1,000Km). It has met all my goals including its driving range on a single charge, safety features and my budget. With a 65% battery from 80% down to 15%, my VF8 Plus model on a single charge can travel about 170 miles (roughly 275Km) at the speed of 70 miles/hours during the normal weather condition in California. It took about 43 minutes to charge the EV from 10% to 80% and 56 minutes to charge from 14% to 90% (after 80% it takes a little longer time to charge possibly because of saturation) at a super charging 360 kWh station. Packed with many high-tech features including HUD (Head-Up Display), 360 camera, ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems), heated and cooled seats, blind spot warning, voice activation, the VF8 Plus is one of the best cars I have ever had since my last hybrid. Probably, Vinfast ADAS is the feature I love most. When on freeway if you want to use Vinfast ADAS, just hit the little ADAS button to your right, on the steering wheel once the VF8 reaches the speed you want, for example 65 miles/hour, and the ADAS sign in green and blue color with the desired speed will show up on HUD (Head-Up Display), and the EV will take over the drive. All you do now is just sit relax enjoy behind the steering wheel and touch the wheel when asked. If you want to adjust the ADAS speed, just hit the up (+) or down (-) button right above and below the RES (Resume) button. The EV will automatically follow the same speed or stop as the car in front of you, does. If there's no car in front of you, the EV will speed up by itself to reach the speed you have set while keeping the EV between the lanes. Remember whenever you step on the brake, ADAS will no longer work, and notice that the ADAS sign on HUD will become gray. Just hit the RES (Resume) button on the steering wheel to resume ADAS, and the ADAS sign on HUD will be again in green and blue color. As far as I know, Vinfast is the one and only EV maker that represents the Southeast Asian region to join CES 2024 in Las Vegas last January.

😂😂😂 you avoided to mention TESLA🙃 hope they paid you well.

I would love the VF3 looks perfect to drive in old european cities.

I was here last Monday. There was definitely a lot of beautiful and crazy cars and trucks to see. It was a great way to get out of the heat for a few hours. Thanks for the great video.

Sorry for interupting but the VF5 is 134HP for Plus version. In VN doesn't have eco version yet but i think the one you see in BIMS is plus version and the spec is 134HP and 135Nm or 99ftlb

Nice commercial.

You go Chad, get that sponsorship money. Just dump the money back into fun videos please!

I wish Vinfast luck, hopefully they do better in Thailand and they did in America. I know you're pushing their product but I strongly disagree about the Chinese electric vehicles. The Chinese electric vehicles are far superior to anything that they're putting out and at a better price point. I understand you're a shill for the Vietnamese company during this video but facts are facts. I'll still look forward to some of your future real videos, keep up the good work.

As long as they can get quality on par with their competition, the VF WILD looks cool and has some neat and unique features. I'm a fan. As Always May God Bless you and yours! 😇

That VF9 im likin it bro👏👏 id buy the VF9 and the VF wild

VF looks like it has a great vehicle range and makes perfect sense to own one on Thailand's busy roads. The EV3 is the one for me with a set of TE37's, some mud tyres and a couple of light bars just for good looks

Glad to see more EV's in Thailand. We commute 3.5 hours one way weekly to Bangkok from Central Chanthaburi in our MG4 EV. It has 200HP, huge long range 60KWH battery, 360 degree camera sensors Apple car play seems to have all the bells and whistles of a Tesla minus the self driving but there is a lot of AI attached to the lane assist and cruise control modes. We switched over from a Fortuner and its insane how cheap the electricity costs per mile. Round trip to Bangkok used to be a little over one full tank of fuel. Now we get to Bangkok with 30% left in our battery and the cost to charge back to 100% is about 160 BHT. We plug in at home in each town so never stop at a fuel or charge station unless we want to drop off and come back home in that case its a 20 minute charge at a fast charger mid point. 200 HP electric car is the perfect size horse power in my opinion. The turbo diesel general vehicles on the highway can not keep up with us if we want to go fast. Also you get instant full torque when you move the accelerator peddle either from a dead start or any speed. If you decide to make a pass you push the peddle down and your gone. Oh the MG4 has rear wheel drive and motor in front under the hood battery under the floor and sport mode.

the way you explain it that you need different cars for different needs just like with shoes makes perfect sense to me and the VF Wild looks 100 times better than the Tesla Cybertruck

As a car guy since I could drive, I agree with you completely about different cars serving a different purpose. I drive a Tesla with autopilot for my commute and it's the best thing for daily driving

I'm not a huge truck guy, but sometimes one has to cart broken motorcycles or car parts around. I'd rock a VF Wild for something like that.

I do like the looks of the Vinfast 9. A quality 7 seat SUV would sell very well in the states. But they better have their act together with their software because they're only going to get one shot at it.

These cars look amazing, but I hope that the engineering can catch up to the looks.

It's like a chunky rivian. i really like the styling. Alot of great points you made about the differnt cars for different applications, i completely agree. The biggest issue i have with electric vehicles is mostly pricetag.

“I don’t support Chinese products” except the Chinese camera 🎥 used to shoot this video, the Chinese laptop used to edit it, the Chinese microphone 🎤 I’m speaking to you on, the Chinese tripod that supports my camera, my clothes, shoes, and glasses made in China. China has its flaws, but I’ll admit to buying products from them.

Great Video Chad, keep them coming 👍 Not much of an EV guy, but gotta say, I like the look of these over all the others. Also, I like your take on the whole thing

Currently in Vietnam and seeing Vinfast cars and SUV’s everywhere. They look cool. They also make electric motorbikes. The mall has hundreds of EV charging stations for motorbikes (and cars). Vietnam is thriving!

GR8 vid. 6:37 yellow VF 3: would love to see a test drive on a bumpy paved or dirt road...may be a bit "hoppy". Jumpy happens on the very short wheel base vehicles w a tall profile. Maybe the low battery weight helps the physics.

Nice to see the Austin Allegro steering wheel is making a comeback. Nice looking truck,

Even though this year’s event isn’t loaded with custom tuner cars, the exotics were still there on the different hall. I almost missed them until I noticed the new Countach and the Speedtail and the Ferraris sitting on display.

Hi Chris, many thanks for your interesting vids. I’m out in October and wondering if there is anywhere to see the long tail boat racing. Any help or ideas appreciated. Cheers

Went there to see cool custom and tuned cars. What I got was a sales event lol. There were a few super cars in another hall. But just 10-15.

i agree with you love the wild it looks awesome

These cars look very Renault-y. I wouldn't be surprised if VinFast used (a) designer(s) that used to/are working with/for Renault. The interior on the pickup is very Citroën/DS-esque.

Best daily driver I ever was a Model Y. Autodriving was insane and amazing.

Maverick during the week for me, big lifted f150 with 5.0 yote on the weekend

Saw this truck at a wrap shop in BKK a few days before the start of the show, took some pictures, thought about sending the photos to you. Got immediately distracted by fully caged supra driving by and getting gas. Also got some pictures of it.

Looks great!!! i like the VF9 as well 😮

You nailed it with your opinion about electric cars. I drive BEV since six years. First eGolf, then since two years Hyundai Ioniq 5. And I'm very happy with it and charge many month per year only at my own PV. But I'm also a fan of drag racing, and my favorite event each year since 30 years is the NitrOlympx drag racing event at Hockenheim here in Germany. And in the garage a 69 Camaro is waiting to be finished.

Nice...doing your "old" and new job all at once..... COOL video Bro!

I do agree with your comments on the Vinfast!!

The vf-3 is really cool. I’d daily that little thing

For someone who lives and works in the city and drives 20 to 40 miles a day its perfect. Drive all week and charge once over the weekend. For rural drivers who routinely put 50 plus ➕ miles a day or more its more aggravation than its worth. I'm much more impressed with hydrogen vehicles. As the tech improves on them it will most likley be the way to go.

Went to Da Nang last weekend and was amazed how many Vinfast EVs there were. When available in Thailand, I'm sure theybwill do well.

My 6.2 litre supercharged V8 is my daily. Call it overindulgent, it was once my weekender, until my ex decided she wanted everything. I negotiated keeping my car and gave her everything else. Maybe a VinFast for when I'm in Bangkok, and the HSV for when I'm in Australia. I think you should have different countries for different situations.

Vinfast have been buying property and ex GM Australia ex engine plants and experimenter test track in recent years, and this week announced everything is for sale

It’s very interesting to see Vietnam can see the importance of having a motor vehicle industry to lift the economy Unlike here in Australia where we have closed our car industry down The Ute looks very different, I don’t mind it 👍👍

This car show looks amazing actually

Currently electronic cars dont have enough range yet. Once they can charge 1000miles in 30 mins its hard to beat a 4cyl

VinFast is currently building a $4B facility in North Carolina. The VF Wild and Fisker Alaska are really good looking EV concept trucks and their midsized makes more sense than the full size the Big 3 are rushing to market.

the most beautiful pickup truck I have ever seen, it is suitable for a modern, strong, sophisticated and luxurious man, you can wear a suit to ride this car or a t-shirt set with shorts and a shirt. The hat is also very suitable, the capacity of this car is very large, I am curious about its mobility. Thank you for your work on this product. love from Vietnam❤

that VF3 is actually not bad looking, for a small area such as an island or metropolitan area (city driving) it should be ann acceptable transportation and might actually be enjoyable with a nice stereo in it

Chad, you rock! Love the channel and content. Peace

I’m wondering what American automakers have partnered with them to rebrand and bring these to the states….also wondering crash testing specs?

Vietnam may have a Vinfast, but they will never beat Indonesia lo! That is their reality

They actually seem quite nice, and of course that WIld looks good!

I like this car : VF Wild So nice, so strong, so different!

Agree. The VF Wild will surely sell in Thailand.

Right. Just like shoes! I drive my Dacia from A to B, my Mustang convertible for a ice cream on a sunny day, my Koenigsegg on a track day to let off steam.

Chad dude the VF wild is sick buy one just saying

REally interesting indeed... Prices are excellent!!

I totally agree Chad.. i have a crazy Nissan patrol build in Australia, unfortunately going to have to sell it.. so wish I could bring it to Thailand 😢

Did VF talk about the software issues in the US market, let's hope that the all of the EV's keeps on running on the street and does not breakdown during heavy traffic (adding more to traffic jams)

I mean, I just purchased an F82 M4 Comp about a month ago and its my everything car! Daily and weekender!

Hey Chad do you know if they will be making those trucks IN Thailand? So we can maybe avoid that tax...sorry if you mentioned it in the video and I missed it

The vf wild looks actually good.

It's about time they give you a VIP Invitation... As for EV's in my opinion they are an appliance to get from A-B.

Great job love the truck

Love cars, love gas engines, love my ev’s! I drive a Maserati, Lotus, Mercedes, dodge, and a shit ton of Alfa Romeos. F-ing love my coded i3 Rex!

Vinfast has some good designs but are still fine tuning their final products. Once they finally figure that all out they'll be a good alternative.

Was this last weekend or this weekend? I was there last weekend drinkn at Buddy's and Oshea's so really hope it wasn't then 😢

I feel most people should have electric golf carts for daily driving. You don't need huge horsepower to drive around town and sit in traffic. If you could do pedal assist, even better.

Purely based on looks and taking any EV opinion out of the picture...I love it! I'll keep my '93 Hilux though :)

I'm kinda liking that VF 9

The pickup truck looks interesting. The smallest car looks cute. All the other cars in between don't look great at all. 700,000+ thb for that small car is going to be a tough sell. The problem you have with this brand is the lack of network, track record and image. With EV batteries reliability and flammability I wouldn't be buying any for the time being. I will stick to my Ranger with its 3.2l diesel as my daily for a long long time.

how are they going to support the recharging of these. i have seen the grid system there and it looks horrible with all the wires hanging out.

I like the look of that ev truck thingy. Prefer a big block gas motor but for daily drivers ev is good.

Never heard of them, but the full size suv with that range 🤯. That truck would be great for America… I need that family vehicle, but I also need some bed space. I like it !

My 1995 S10 Blazer hauls 10 ft lumber! I call it "blaze wild"!

Awesome truck

Truck looks cool but it's electric. I'm still thinking of a second hand Raptor. Thanks for the show, Thailand Paul

The Expeng flying car is soo cool!

Damn I missed it. Is there another car show next month? I'll be in Thailand on the 18th.

Hopefully you show some cooler EVs as well. Can’t remember if it was at the show but there’s an Ionic 5N on display at the Hyundai Design Center at True Digital Park. That is a car that should excite every car guy.

E-cars make sense as a cheap commuter at around $15K. But as a truck it will never work outside of a city truck.

I like the vF wild truck.

Looks 1000% better than that Tesla Cybertruck

Loved your channel right up to the point you started waffling on about electric vehicles and the specifications boring!

That truck is sick

I agree with your take if you can afford more than one car. For my use case, I use a plug-in Hybrid for my daily car. I have no interest in self driving, one pedal driving, or a stark minimalist interior. Give me buttons not an iPad strapped to a dash. For fun I'll hop in my E39 M5 or my turbo 1975 BMW 2002. But for some a simple EV might be the right choice. Nice commercial :)

a pick up is a good idea to own you never know when your gonna need to haul something

Chad, the BYD SEAL is also not bad

Why not buy a Chinese EV? I have seen some great prices on them.

03:53 just sold my catfish camaro, thanks cb media for making me sad again...

The right car can be your daily and weekend track car .

Tesla is the best car company ever! No gas stations, No oil changes, No smog check, No corrupt dealership, No catalytic converter and as fast as a $650,000 Lamborghini .

I gotta move to Thialand!!

yea u got paid to do a commercial for vinfast

They should make the VF3 4x4 with big tires

🎉 nice truck

With all the new train lines going in you almost don't need a car except for vacation road trips.

if that truck survive i thailand then it will survive everything...the thais use there trucks for work and play..and they both work and play hard.if you been there you understand what im talking about.i bet atleast the hilux is going to give this ev truck a real challenge.great vid as usual..👍👍

I'm old School 73 years old I love combustion I love the noise can't get enough of that I love gas and diesel can't get enough of that. I know electric is the future can't stop it, but I need noise can't get away from it, so I'll always have one. My daily driver is a 1997 Dodge Ram Lariat with a 360 with aggressive flow exhaust love the sound of that engine. Nothing big in it just plain Jane stock. Every gas or diesel engine has its own distinctive noise My next favorite is a small block Chevy. Just saying. Love CB Media Look forward to it. (GOTTA HAVE GAS)

Question sir what is the best time of year to visit Thailand for car show's? Tia
