THIS IS MAYBE THE MOST UNIQUE EV PAIRING EVER! LIVING WITH A VINFAST VF8 AND LAND MOTO

EV Channels Review

The reviewer provides an in-depth, year-and-a-half-long ownership review of the 2023 VinFast VF8 Eco trim, highlighting its striking design and spacious interior as major positives. Despite its initial poor reception, the reviewer finds the VF8 to be a capable road tripper, achieving a real-world range of 247 miles, exceeding its EPA estimate. Key features appreciated include the functional pet mode, comfortable heated seats, and a surprisingly effective driver assistance system that improves with software updates. However, the lack of over-the-air updates, requiring service center visits, and a subpar mobile app are significant drawbacks. Charging speeds are noted as being slower than ideal, topping out in the 140s kW. The reviewer recommends the VF8, particularly for those considering a lease, due to its attractive price point and unique features, despite its initial market challenges. The review also briefly touches on the 2024 Land Moto District Scrambler electric motorcycle, praising its US manufacturing and suitability for commuting, but noting its limitations for long-distance travel due to battery technology constraints.
