#vinfast #vf8 #ev - Авто та транспорт
I love how Francie drives a car. It’s like how 99% of people do it. People just want to get to work and back reliably and occasionally take a trip here and there. A Vinfast will never be used for full send acceleration sprints or track days. It’s fun, but it’s not the right tool for the job. I would love to see what it’s like in snow, some light off road, and towing a small camper. Things that it is designed to actually do.
Yep, back and forth to work, great family car. comfortable and take the pets with you if you are going to be out all day.
It drives me insane when reviewers complain about things the average person won't gaf about. Like who cares if the 0-60 is over 5s
@@Slayyyter_bitxh everyday I merge onto the highway with cars that can do 0-60 in under 10 seconds and they do it in 25. Most of the time not even making it to freeway speed before I blow around them. The average person does not care about 0-60 and never use half of the capability of their car.
@@LifeAfterLosing Right
it's great that you mentioned towing a small camper, because at the Vinfast factory in Vietnam, they actually used those VF8 to tow stuff around. pretty much enough power to do stuff.
I live in Ho Chi Minh City. Vinfast owns a ride hailing taxi company called Green Taxi which has been in operation for about a year now across all major cities in Vietnam. It's whole fleet consists of 3 Vinfast SUV models, including the VF8. I ride them to and from work everyday, a 30 minute one-way ride, and have never observed any problems with them. Drivers tell me that they do report bugs, and eventually they get fixed. So here at least there is a test platform for their EVs, that doubles as a great ride hailing service.
Why are they running such a small fleet? Seems like they'd want to push a pilot program like this at home.
@@otm646 10-100 testers drive in 2-3 years or 10,000-20,000 taxi drivers run 300-400km per day in 2 years, which result is it better ? easy to find a new bug and fix its. And how tough Vf8 is durable and solid.
Yes they are comfortable taxis and really can’t understand how they can charge so little when you are driving in a 70,000 car .
I am afraid things aren’t going too well for them though even though the streets are packed with Vinfast cars most of them are owned by Vingroup for their taxis service.
Not many driving around with white license plates privately owned .
Next to where I live the dealership has 100s just park even on the street not selling .
I do hope they are successful lots of jobs riding on these cars I suspect the VF 7 will do better
@@kevbrown1867 one of GSM taxi rules is alway at least 2 chargers of charge station for normal customers. And one reasons is national electric system is 220v / 380v. So, most of vinfast owners charge at home. The orthers can charge at 150,000 chargers with 22kwh-60kwh-150kwh- 250kwh- 360kwh from the north to the south.
In vietnam now, vinfast have one promotion, free charging in 2 years. So, it will be chaos and messy in the first days. Tranditional taxi, gsm, app-taxi (grap/uber/be) and normal owners have to learned how to deal before vf3 is launched.
@@kevbrown1867 Your information is out of date. Currently there are many Vinfast cars with white plates. Like Vf3, there were about 30,000 car deposits in 3 days. You see how attractive Vinfast cars are.
Francie is perfect for watching car reviews for my partner she just doesn't care about things that don't matter lol.
Haha glad she might enjoy my perspective!
I live by one of the Vinfast dealerships, and I’ve seen VF9s on the lot recently.
I like Francie's "everyday" review of this car. I'm an ID.4 driver, and I can relate to car reviewer opinions having zero impact on my enjoyable day-to-day life with it 😂
Give Francie a little treat, let her take the plaid!
Rafiki would approve ❤❤❤
Francie is the boss!
109%
I think most telling about how much the car improved is that Francie didn't want to give the car back and she seemed genuinely sad about it.
I like the look of the SUV. Glad to see you guys trying to review lower end cars.
VinFast VF8 is high performance and premium EV, fully loaded with many luxurious features included. I have been driving a Plus model daily the past 16 months with over 26k miles. Love the car from day one.
@@SuperNamnHi @superNamn vlog 🎉
@@SuperNamnhow is it on Road Trips?
@@GenieFarmsit was very pleasant since we used ADAS a lot. My wife loves it. I shared many videos on my channel. Our last road trip was last month from Sacramento to Sam Diego. We drove over 1,200 miles total. The only downside is some charging stations were busy because of the Memorial weekend holiday. We have to get used to spending about 30 min to an hour at the charge stations to sleep, eat, or shopping while charging. The plus side is I didn’t get tired or exhausted at the end of a long road trip like when I was driving ICE car.
There two Vinfast Dealerships in Houston Texas i should test drive one soon but they not open yet under construction
It is really a good news. I hope see you test VF soon
Good to hear that they start servicing Houston. I am also interested in. Thanks for the news!
These are scenes that just happened on the road with VF8, it was tested on the river.
ua-cam.com/users/shorts5E-iLTe8oFM?feature=shared
We need a Disney+ cartoon "The VinFast Adventures of Francie and Rafiki."
"Oooo, she's forgetful!"😁 Great video you guys. No idea why I find this vehicle interesting.
I like the green color. Beautiful car!!
Francie is so refreshingly real, straight talk without any influencer attitude. Two observations, first, after watching this I will definitely be checking out the podcast. Second, because of this and the 10% Vinfast video I have scheduled a Vinfast test drive.
really cool update, great to see the Vinfast VF8 continuing to improve! Would love to see an in-depth overview of the new software features. Didn't the charging also improve?
what a nice car! I love this model, VF8
Francie seems very natural and great on camera. Would like to be able to hear her more if Kyle could let her get a word in
She has her own OOS channel, OOS Podcast, you can hear her a LOT on there 😂
@@fleecystheking It's different if she would be able to talk on-site with the car, considering that she's been driving it lol
Here in the bay area, Vinfast went out to my house to do the update. I hope they offer it in other states since the update took more than 4 hours.
Francie should definitely take the cybertruck back. Realistically though the Rivian, model 3 or plaid, something normal after having to put up with what the Vinfast has thrown her way right out of the gate.
She would want the Vinfast back after driving the Cybertruck a few days. Life is easier in the Vinfast with the dog and it won’t risk getting sliced jumping in or out of it.
She likes the rivian and has driving Kyle’s rivian on 2 roadtrips
C'mon she's suffered enough.
Ev9! Or tweezy!!!
@@markfitzpatrick6692in video she talk, she like ADAS of VF8 than Rivian
You're a natural, keep doing what you do
I think this could be a good segment. What do everyday actual people who own the car think as opposed to the ev advanced group that watch these vids.
I am an owner in California with more than 26k driven on my VF8. I approved Francie’s honest reviews so far.
Kyle cant wrap his head around the fact the people actually like this car, bet hes gonna talk shit about it if people ask him about it on the road
I like it. I think it looks better in and out than a model Y, particularly the higher trim. The price is a bit higher than what it should be, that’s my only issue. If they can get the factory up and get the tax credit it will help a ton as well as shipping costs.
Like how he talks shit about the Mach-E. Regular people couldn't care less.
@@xaionik it’s what happens with all car reviewers over time. They become out of touch with what real people care about and think that we all only care about acceleration and handling. I barely have the space to get up to 40mph on most days, so none of that impresses me. When I do go on a long trip, I want it to be easy to drive, quiet, comfortable, a good sound system, and with an EV, fast to charge. I don’t care about handling, and I don’t care about getting to highway speed in record time. Oh and they can do all of that and make it cheap.
@@LifeAfterLosing yea i also think it should start from 40-45k but it really doesnt matter because the lease deal is fantastic
@@manenwan for sure. But now with the Hyundai/Kia leases being so good, Vinfast does not look as good anymore. But still good compared to gas cars.
Vinfast screwed themselves by releasing cars to the press when they were not ready. A lot of big car UA-camrs including Kyle and Donut declared it DOA. From what I have heard, the initial software update dramatically improved the experience even though there were still glitches. I think this is a no brainer for people that live near a dealer and could lease one for under $300 a month with $0 down. If you switch to this from a gas car and you had a long commute, you could pay the lease with what you’d save on gas.
@@richdaley9982 first impression is everything :). They had a bunch of press/influencers going over to VN to ride in the car for 15min then write stories about it. I have seen couple car reviewers in VN reporting issues, but letting so many issues reaching a market like US a downer, especially for a first timer.
Like u said. You HEARED all these things. Why don't u do test drive by urself and have ur own opinion ?
@@atnauan8522: Vinfast car is like piece of shitttttt 😅😅😅.
@@eagletrump2542 Vietnamese has a saying like this: Studying is very important. Poor you!
We have a VinFast dealership just 20 minutes from us in Guelph, Ontario
How their business in Canada? It not good here in US
@@Ongnoiputin02We only test drove, were ready to buy and then backed out because of the reviews. The staff were awesome otherwise.
Edit: that was right when Kyle's review video came out.
@@Ongnoiputin02VinFast has quite a bit of success in Montreal, Quebec, Canada actually. There are 2-3 dealers in the Greater Montreal area, as well as a showroom in the largest local mall. People are VERY attracted to the VF8 for its 10 year Unlimited mileage warranty and aggressive pricing. I see them on the streets every single day.
Francie should take a car that her dad would like to try actually! Great content on her channel! He has Teslas already so maybe the EV9?
@fleecystheking . Quebec has a lot of incentives to buy EVs.
If you really wanted to haze Francie, you would have leased her an Ocean!
Ouch- haha. Hoping their design gets bought out of bankruptcy
They could probably buy a used one now for a great deal to "gift" her
Lol, Kyle buy a fire sale unit and have Lacey drive it for her hazing.
Sad how Francie is undervalued.
Not undervalued just some ribbing of the valued new girl.😊 love the content she provides the Out of Spec team. @tjackele
Would be interesting to see with version 9.6.1.13 how it has changed for you. That one is an even bigger update than .12
Just got a dealer in Dallas. May have to do one with the next cheap lease deal.
Love Kyle and love the channel. But, Im really digging Francies perspective, it’s more relatable to me than the super detailed info usually provided. I have zero ev experience here and a lot of kyles explanations go over my head. Most important, super cute fit Francie. ❤
Nobody loves Kyle. He's negative, whines over the stupidest, simplest thing no one cares about. Annoying AF
Yay it’s vinfast update day!
I love the Vinfast updates. When we have a dealer nearby I’ll consider it if there is a cheap lease deal.
Cheers Kyle and Francie
Great video, I am glad I subscribed to your channel
It was awesome to meet you in Clarkesville Francie! Great to hear your thoughts on this car so far. Glad it's not as much of a clunker as first thought.
I'm about to roll over 158k miles on my Bolt. :-D Just got the replacement DCFC sleeve guides to put into my glovebox so if one pops out again I have spares, keeping this car til it dies for sure. I talked to GM to see what their fix is and it's about $1200 to replace to whole charge port instead of $15 for a few DCFC sleeve guides.
Also currently looking at 2022 Model Ys down in Florida for around $24k OTD so we hopefully can road trip faster and not get almost stranded in Arkansas again. We are currently planning a road trip from Charlotte to Salt Lake City next year! ABRP says it will take 45 hours to get there in the Bolt or 35 hours in a Model Y. Just trying to get together the money for a down payment now, I paid the last $6k left to pay on the Bolt as soon as we got back from Arkansas and that little scare. lol
Still loving the green. A lot of great features . In some ways better than my ID 4..pet mode , heads-up display in others not so much ID 4 overall quality probably better built.
Overall a good family car mostly in town with just occasional road trips.
looking forwarsd to your testing Kyle, I have 18 months or so to go with my ID 4 I'll be in a position where I'll need to buy it out of lease nearly 50K miles already ..will have almostt 120K miles end of lease on a 30k mile lease :grin , residual 26K. Like to have a backup handy, with so much hate on Vinfast used ones should be showing up on the lots cheap.. and good size for rideshare. good heavy doors great for passengers alwaysslamming the doors, rangeand charging fine for rideshare
Francies thumbs up on your comment that Vinfast is responding quickly to the bugs , and thumbs down agre that for most people that would mean a trip to a dealer most lkely a days travel or more and agree they are probably making the move to OTA slowly as a preventive measure... (bad update and everyonees pissed) so yes agree ..take it slow make sure they get it right before introducing OTA .. hell VW with the ID 4 ..I know people been waiting 2 years for some OTA updates!
When you got a stable version, you dont want to try new unknown version. As my pixel phone alway reject the newest update
Kyle: Vinfast is the worst reviewed car in recent memory.
Fisker: What am I to you?
Fisker isn't bad, they just don't have enough money to maintain a weak system like vinfast. Vingroup created green taxis to boost sales for Vinfast and compensate for their losses.😅
@@vivuphuongnam man live in Việt Nam see all best of fisker than american . sory it's bankrupt but can't help.

"You literally ripped it off" - Francine😂
😂
It was a douche move to rip off the dust cover so theatrically.
I went by the dealership around April, they had a ton of '24s and a lot of them were built in March 2023, so they have just been sitting there for a year.
Vinfast pioneer have a chance to trade free from model 2023 up to model 2024 . So, you will see alot model 2023 on parrking lots. The difference between model 2023 and 2024 are Catl battery and softer rear suspension.
Thank You for All that you are doing for our Planet Earth.... Peace.. Shalom.. Salam.. Namaste

"VinFast VF8 is an impressive electric 5-seater SUV originating from Vietnam. The model comes in two versions: VinFast VF8 Eco and VF8 Plus. VinFast unveiled this car at the 2021 Los Angeles Auto Show under the name VF e35 . Here are some key specifications of the VinFast VF8:
Overall dimensions: 4,750 x 1,900 x 1,660 (mm)
Range per full charge (WLTP standard): 460 km and 510 km (targeted)
Powertrain: 2 motors (150 kW each), all-wheel drive (AWD)
0-100 km/h acceleration time: Under 5.5 seconds
Thank you so much. From Vietnam!
I dont think this 2023 Eco trim VF8 is suitable for Kyle to test it. Different with Francie, it is cool for her. But with Kyle, he drives a alot of cars with really up to date features. So I dont think this VF8 can make him feel good. But he should try a bigger size VF9, or a really fast VF7. Hope Francie and Out of Specs team will visit Vinfast factory and Vietnam soon, Vinfast shall do that.
I think VF7 and VF6 are more perfecto than VF8. Let's wait for it in the U.S market.
I like Vinfas❤
Afternoon Francie and Kyle
With a 10-year vehicle warranty including battery, I think it can be trusted😂
Francie is awesome! She needs some seat time in the CyberTruck!!
Not the e-Golf! Unless you transport it back to her home. Must have dog mode. What are the options in OOS fleet?
Looking forward to Kyle's testing this time.
Let’s go Francie!
give them some time, it will be as good as tesla. tesla took a few years too.
2024 VF8 must be better suspension.
Favorite salsa pitch “ If u drive it ten miles an it don’t blow tf up … u can lease th car. Yehehe
The touch screen is quite snappy. Looking forward to Kyle’s refresh. Maybe get the dealer to do a new OTA update? Alyssa needs to test it with dogs too.
Even here in Europe a lot of new delivery EVs don’t have what you call an EVSE but we call a granny charger - my 2021 Mini Cooper S E had one but my new 2024 U25 Countryman didn’t come with one. I never used the one in the Cooper S E and handed it back with that still in the unopened plastic wrapping BUT I know of people who do need an EVSE/ Granny Charger and are not happy they have spent a lot of money on the car and it’s deficient in one piece of important equipment. The new 2024 JO1 Cooper S E and E also don’t come with one.
What car should Francie take back, Kyle does have a Plaid you could purchase a Chevy bolt under $15,000 at King Auto Denver CO but would that be big enough for the dog or does Kyle get another crazy lease deal 🤔
VF8 has some real good point when compared to something like the Model Y. It has cheaper lease price, better build quality, better looking, HUD, apple car play and android auto, moonroof that can be opened, much more color options, all features are stock and you don't have to "pay more to have more",...
And to be honest Model Y just do not feel like a high-end product, the VF8 does.
trash car
@@Ongnoiputin02Tesla trash😂
Francie is awesome. I think i am in love!
Not a bad suv but like the fisker it breaks how do you go about fixing it
Vinfast and Tata software company are cooperated to build and fix system. But now, FPT software, also is Vietnam software company, support to fix vinfast system. They are the same language, so it is so easy to inform.
I think you should take a model Y or X, whichever one is available.
36:28 very good IELTS listening test to practice 😅
Does the car she take back have to be street legal? If not the tweezy!!! lol. If so either the model s plad or the leaf
So good.
Definitely Beac 👍
The charging is probably better than my Y 4680 😅
The high mileage M3 probably makes the most sense for Francie to take back. Or maybe she deserves the Rivian now to go on outdoor dog adventures...
Cool !
Give her Judy!
If the car glitches, get out, close windows. Then get back in, open windows and should be reset.
Good jobs
Model 3 would be a good comparison point.
I have a VinFast VF8 Eco and a Model 3 RWD. One is light and fun to drive in the city but loud AF on the highway. The other is big for city driving but it’s largish 87.7 kW battery makes it great for nonstop highway trips that are less than 240 miles
So honest question, can you not just put the car in park and leave it running then lock the doors with the keyfob? I do this all the time in my 2017 bolt ev and it’s zero difference from needing a “dog mode”. The car will stay running for hours if needed but obviously you wouldn’t need it that long. Does other EVs not let you do this or something?
Not really dog mode. It's camping mode and yes you can do that. AC on while car is locked
@@AcousticaStudio oh ok. Then why do people care about dog mode? You get the same functionality
@@jamesgaines6468 you can check on the dog with the app
As much as I don't like Vinfast at least they have enough money to keep going, unlike Fisker who left his customers in a pickle with vehicles that have little to no value, and if the owners of their vehicles have yet sold/traded their cars will be stuck with them until it bricks or gets totaled. Also, a company that goes by American Lease is buying Fisker Oceans for less than 50 million dollars and all Fisker's parts and software are going to them once approved. They also get first dibs when it comes to getting fixed.
Francie in the Cybertruck!
It seems, the VF8 is not so well received globally and Vinfast ist getting a bit nervous, I read: „VinFast Critic Detained, Interrogated by Vietnam Police for Facebook Posts“… What‘s your experience?
One in Virginia in green for 27,950 3.8k, new they're really expensive
I was literally wondering this morning lol
@@user-ru2he7tm2t It's a tough sell for the V8 for what they cost new you could buy a 2022 BMW IX with 11k miles on it $54,995
Does inside seem luxurious and quality?
I love Francie. She is probably the best addition to this channel since Kyle started it. I say this because (1) she is an everyman, (2) she is smart and observant of what is going on, (3) she struggles with many of the issues that affect many new EV drivers, and (4) she is very well spoken. Also, kudos to her for putting up with this Yugo-of-EV cars for 6 months. Hopefully, she will be free of this torture-test of a car soon. It is hilarious how many errors the car had during this video! All the best.
After the mess of Fisker and bad initial reviews of VinFast, I could understand why people would be fearful of buying orbleasing one if these.
With that said, VinFast is more than a designer pushing a SPAC to cash in. The aitomotive division has the casino and resort revenue as well as ICE vehicle production that they do. This should make people believe the company will be around longer.
Happy to see more EV options for consumers, but better options are easy to find.
She went to Wichita. Did she work the straw?
12:30 probably because thre is a dog in the back walking around. Doesn't seem unreasonable...
Haha. Keyfog is in the car.
I thought Francie was taller, didn't know she was fun size. I use Bluetooth for my music.
I like it. Not available in EuroLand though. Yet.
😎
Kyle, make sure Francie get to test drive a Lucid, while you test drive her car
I hope Francie takes the CT back
Since Francie is used to her old Subaru, why not put her in a Soltera? I would also like to see her in the now bankrupt Fisker Ocean. Is it really as bad as other reviewers said it was?
Mọi người nên tin tưởng,chất lượng của xe oto điện VinPhat,mà mẫu mã xe cũng rất đẹp.
Talking about glitches...as they happen!
Rafiki needs the Rivian experience if for nothing else the alliteration
Nice❤❤❤❤
Give her the BMW SUV that you did for the SUV Race to vegas.... She deserves it.
It’s a available in Holland

Does anybody else find it to be a problem that the car locks itself while the key has been put in the car, dog in the car. This could lead to the dog getting locked in a hot car with no way of getting it out
She took the key out of car with the window glass down and the car locked and then she put the key back through the window. So if car locked, the window glass is still down and no one or pet is going to die in the hot weather in car becoz they can get out easily
Also it have the camping mode. Car off but AC on and you can sleep whole night easy
Only 3,400 miles in 6 months? Hope y’all can put more miles on it with evaluations of city vs highway.
They got lots of highway miles in on roadtrip home and to Colorado. Sounds like the daily was city.
It's leased so they will have to be careful with miles
One vietnamese guy drove around us lor touring over 20,000miles in 45 days without any errors
Francie we want you in a race.
Vinfast 🇻🇳❤️👍
What happened to Alyssa?
I agree that Francie needs to have the Tesla experience but I’m thinking she should leave with the Plaid! You guys don’t drive it that much as it is, I know you don’t plan to sell it and it lets the other Out of Spec team pile more miles on the Model 3 or push its limit on battery milage which makes for more interesting content.
