FRANCIE ANSWERS YOUR VF8 QUESTIONS AFTER 1 MONTH & 1,000 MILES! LIKES, DISLIKES & MORE

EV Channels Review

After one month and 1,000 miles with the VinFast VF8 Eco, the reviewer finds it to be a decent car, particularly appealing for its attractive lease deals (around $250/month with zero down). While the exterior design, spacious interior, and comfortable ride are praised, significant drawbacks emerge in the infotainment system and software, described as outdated, quirky, and clunky. The sound system is notably poor, with one instance of demonic noises from the speakers. Charging speeds are slow, and the public charging infrastructure in the reviewer's area is severely lacking. Despite these issues, the reviewer highlights the good driver assistance features and solid build quality, noting no new squeaks or rattles. The VF8 is recommended for those curious about EVs or seeking a budget-friendly lease, but not for outright purchase due to its price point and competition. The reviewer suggests VinFast needs significant improvement in software and user experience to compete effectively.
