I Bought A VinFast VF8! After The Terrible Buying Experience, The Car Had A Software Meltdown
Переглядів 197,348
День томуKyle and Francie fom the @OutofSpecPodcast are in Raleigh, NC picking up a new VinFast VF8! This is a vehicle we reviewed just over a year ago and have since not had the opportunity to drive an updated example. We decided to purchase one to see what this new brand is all about, how they take care of their customers, and how they update their cars. Time will tell how this experience plays out, but it's starting out on a rocky note

I am hopeful for Vietnam industry. I am very much reminded of the Hyundai story, having myself been the proud owner of a first generation Hyundai Excel, the sub-$7k 1986 "powerhouse" lol. It was deemed a joke of poor quality at the time. Fast forward, and look at Hyundai today! I hope for as successful a growth and improvement trajectory for Vinfast. Honestly, my Excel experience was instructive. As much as several details aggravated me,---rubbery imprecise manual shifter, anemic acceleration that forced me to shut off a/c when starting from a traffic light, just to keep up with traffic, to the unsupportive bucket seats, that little car nevertheless was still going "fine" when I sold it after 182K miles on the odo.

Hyundai Excel was the cheapest car you could buy when it came out. Yugo was cheaper but you couldn't go anywhere with Yugo as it was often no-go. haha This VinFast is 52K+, more expensive than Tesla Y. If VinFast wanted to be like Hyundai, the Vinfast VF8 shouldn't cost more than 30K.
@michaelanders6161 3 місяці тому
@@mspsysagreed. I think Tesla set a model in the ev world of releasing more expensive models first, as the technology is new, and they seek to cover rnd costs. It seems the other car companies are following Tesla's lead. But maybe they shouldn't in this case. Vinfast has a concept for a very simple, sub-$20k car that is cute as a Tonka Truck. Depending on range, I'd consider buying it. A simple vehicle will be far easier to them to iron out the wrinkles from.
@mspsys 3 місяці тому
@@michaelanders6161 VinFast is only able to compete and sell cars in Vietnam due to insane 65% tax/tariff imposed on imported vehicles. Toyota Corolla costs almost $80K in Vietnam, making it real easy for VinFast to stay profitable in the domestic market. Chinese EV makers are flooding the EU market right now. Since 2021, Chinese EV market share grew by 361%!! While the Chinese EV makers had to survive & become good w/o any government subsidy, which is allowing them to dominate the EU market now, VinFast is nothing but a vapor ware, only staying in existence due to government subsidy.

This is interesting, and so was my first EV purchase, back in 2019 bought a 2019 Soul EV Limited (30kwh), live of coast (on the Sunshine Coast so a ferry ride to pickup the car in North Vancouver), and it was stellar till my infotainment system went blank! Had to take a ferry back to service and to find out the car was never taken out of shipping mode, talk about a messy predelivery inspection! They flicked the switch to delivered mode, paid for the ferry and everything was fine again but that blew away 3/4 of a day as the ferry only runs every 2 hours.

Re: car no locking; I am curious if the remote has a built-in RF ID type system but when you're standing close to the car it automatically unlocks or stays unlocked but if you walk away it locks. Or that the door handles sense that the remote is nearby and it unlocks when you grab the handle, in either scenario you should hear the locks kick. So hit the lock button walk away from the car and one of you without a remote walk back up to the car and see if it's still unlocked.

To me, the most important question is the built quality and hardware capabilities, those are hard to replace or fix. The software glitchies are fixable over time. It's like a laptop on wheels.

So do you get the VIN fast when you purchase your VinFast? 🤣

It tells you the VIN, all the time, by loudly beeping it at you in morse code. Some reviewers incorrectly said those were "warning beeps," but actually it is a feature so that you never forget the VIN. EVER.

@@chungloankenny As a Vietnamese, a car enthusiast and a long-time watcher of Kyle and Out Of Spec, I don't see his team wanting to make dirty contents about VinFast at all. In fact, I quite like it when his team made videos about VinFast and made VinFast a bit more popular. I have to admit the car isn't perfect, however, VinFast's efforts trying to react quickly to the problems are worth applauding. Upcoming Out Of Spec videos about VinFast is exciting to me.

Many people are so engrossed in looking at reviews, they forget that they can also have the opportunity to own a car of their own that doesn't have to be like their neighbors or the cars parked next to them and make their own reviews, instead of believe what you have never experienced

@@chris55top- I’m with you, Chris. They gave up on their single chargers here in Michigan seemingly years ago, way before EV sales started to ramp. I can think of 5 or 6 single chargers around metro Detroit that we’d love to have operational, which apparently have been left for dead. We can only hope they get replaced with new, since the charging locations are sort of quaint.
