WE'VE HAD OUR VINFAST VF8 FOR 6 MONTHS! HERE'S HOW IT'S GOING

EV Channels Review

After six months of ownership, the VinFast VF8 has proven to be a surprisingly capable, albeit quirky, electric SUV. While initial reviews were harsh, the VF8 has benefited from significant over-the-air software updates, addressing many of the glitches and errors that plagued early ownership. The reviewer highlights the comfortable seats, effective Highway Assistance system, and the unique pet mode as major positives. However, the vehicle still suffers from forgetful settings, occasional jerky ride quality, and a non-powered trunk door. Charging performance, especially DC fast charging, is noted as adequate but not class-leading, peaking around 144 kW. Despite its flaws and the need for dealership visits for some updates, the VF8 is deemed a 'fine' car, especially for those who secured a favorable lease deal, offering a comfortable and surprisingly pleasant driving experience that defies its initial negative reception.
