Wait and See ok
Great content man but i am seeing that you video SEO and thumbnail is not that good in one word your videos packaging is not good and you are loosing audience. I was wondering do you need some one who can do those for you and help you grow your channel ?
@@touhid35rty happy to take any feedback to improve for sure. It’s a small amateur channel so not something where I can hire someone to grow it but if you’re offering some support and tips I’m happy to hear them! 👊 Thanks for checking it out
@@bowefamilyEV no problem i will give guidance if i think you need any improvment
Check the Tesla Model 3 T bone VF8. Tesla was rekt. VF8 protected the driver perfectly. There was the case of a Ford t bone VF8 as well. Vinfast cars are sturdy as hell.
@@LTLotusHeart seems like a well built car it’s been the software that I think is still getting a little polish to it in the US. Glad to see so many people who love it !

@@deanle604 they just let me borrow one for the day but I did enjoy it
Another great video! I like the design of the camper. On a different subject, why don’t you put referral links for Tesla and Rivian and maybe other referral links. All those other channels do it. It’s part of their income model. And I for one would definitely use your referral link!! I read that you could buy a Rivian with referral points. And you could probably get Tesla super charger points to charge your lightning. Keep up the great videos!
@@hpwray I really appreciate the support! I used to have a Tesla referral link because I have a Powerwall but they unfortunately disabled it. I do still have 17k credits I have to use by Feb but the Supercharger miles are only good for Tesla and the with Rivian you have to be an owner to have one. I have an R2 reservation so hopefully one day haha
@@bowefamilyEV Ugh. That sucks. I watch a Tesla guy sometimes, DennisCW , he has SOO many links in his videos. I think he even has a Rivian link but I don’t think ha has a Rivian. I’m thinking the norm is to put as many referral or affiliate links you can think of (Patreon,Buy me a coffee,etc.) I just think you deserve it. Keep up the great videos.

10 Years warranty remind me in the 80' of the Hyundai tunn out to be crappy car! So does vinfast trash? 😅
@@danqp those were crappy cars for sure lol. The Vinfast is much better but they are a new company still figuring out the software side. The build quality and paint seem really solid the software doesn’t get OTAs yet and is still a work in progress but it’s not bad at all.
vinfast ain't crappy like 80s hyundai. Vinfast is built on BMW platform so it's considered a luxury car.
Vinfast !!! go ahead!!

This is a financial scam for Vietnamese, but it is only suitable for the United States.😂
@@Ben-qe8cx what makes you say that? I don’t know anything about how they are viewed domestically in Vietnam. They seem to be making an honest effort to make good EVs and have improved quite a bit from the launch of the VF8 to the VF9. I also saw they were at Electrify Expo in the US and the Everything Electric show in BC Canada.
@@bowefamilyEV It is very complicated to explain. Vinfast was founded by Vietnam‘s real estate tycoon Van Ri Wang. The core parts and designs of cars come from China, but they do not sell them in China.
@@Ben-qe8cx interesting, I know they share some parts with BMW, maybe from the same Chinese supplier, thanks for the information 👍
@@bowefamilyEV Pham Nhat Vuong is the owner of Vinfast , that person doesn’t know what they are talking about . Their EV cars would have parts from many sources and they work with Magna auto parts company . Their previous ICE cars had the previous Generation BMW 5 running gear and the body designed by Italian design house . In Vietnam you see Vinfast cars all over but 70% are owned by VINFAST themselves for their ride sharing company. I don’t think they are considered a success story but they have some new smaller and cheaper EV being released that look pretty good . The VF 7 looks very attractive as well as the smaller VF 6 . They have a small VF 3 that is cheap and is like a micro car that seats 4 but the car is small . I can see the VF 3 being successful for city dwellers that just need basic transportation to go from A to B . I do hope they are successful as there are lots of jobs on the line . I don’t believe they plan to sell in China it would be hard to compete against all the amazing cars coming out of China . With the USA and Canada keeping the Chinese out they might have a chance .
@@Ben-qe8cx This is another way to sneak around into America's market from china's product. The main key is the American saw that in early day about this vinfast and very caution to approach the new brand.

Patiently waiting to see how awesome the second gen Lightning will be. Ford allegedly says it will make the Cybertruck look like a toy.
@@danielbuchanan5327 absolutely excited to see what they have been working on. They have pivoted so much though recently and I don’t want to get too caught up in my own imagination that I’m disappointed like so many were with the CT
@@bowefamilyEV I will definitely wait about a year after it comes out to see what everyone says about it and let any bugs get fixed.
Are you think it made in Vietnam ??? , is it safe to drive ?, other companies like BMW,Ford, Chevy Etc been more than 100 year build vehicle instill now still got problems, I don’t think Vinfast vehicle only short of time deign the high model vehicle, is it made in China was copy form BMW and assembly in Vietnam and want to sell worldwide, with me good luck guy.
@@dathoang9410 it seemed really well built and there are some great vehicles coming out of China including Tesla and cars for Polestar etc. While they fall short in some areas they are better in others. They have all come a long way IMO
