YouTube Tech Reviewer Impressed with his VinFast Ownership Experience

More tech reviewers are getting behind the wheels of various electric cars, and while most of them have been big fans of Teslas and the like for some time now, some of them have started opening their minds to newer vehicles like the VinFast VF8. Mark Linsangan, a tech YouTuber with over 150,000 subscribers and a Tesla Model 3 owner, recently took a VF8 for a spin and explained why it may very well be his next car purchase.

A Tech Reviewer Who Likes Cars

Since Mark isn’t a car reviewer, he has a unique perspective from the tech side of things. This also means that he isn’t jaded or cynical when reviewing the VinFast. Instead of approaching the review like a professional car reviewer who has driven hundreds of vehicles, Mark sees the VF8 as something that needs to fit his technological lifestyle.

A Tesla Owner Who Loves the VF8

Because Mark leases a Tesla Model 3, he brings a unique perspective and finds multiple things that he prefers about the VF8. One thing includes the 360-degree camera view, along with the ability to switch the camera view angles. There’s even a tow view that makes it easier to line up and back your VinFast up to whatever you want to tow. Mark remarked how his Tesla does not have the ability to see 360 degrees around the car; the VF8 has this as standard on the base Eco trim. He also loved the fact that under 9 mph, the front camera will automatically display an image of the left or right on the screen, depending on which turn signal you have on.

The Perfect Infotainment and HUD Displays

The wonderful and bright 15.6-inch infotainment touchscreen also doubles as your gauge cluster. As a professional tech reviewer, Mark Linsangan gets to see dozens of devices with amazing screens every year, from laptops to tablets and, of course, smartphones. So when he says that the “massive” and bright infotainment screen and head-up display (HUD) are some of his favorite features, he means it. He loved the standard wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, something Tesla doesn’t offer in its cars. He especially appreciated the turn-by-turn navigation popping up on the HUD to keep your eyes on the road. Mark called it all a seamless operation. He noted that the wireless charger did not have a problem with phones that have big camera bumps.

Charge All Devices from Anywhere in the Car

Next on his list was the fact that you can charge so many devices at once. There are two USB-C ports for the driver and front passenger, and two more for rear occupants. There’s also a 90-watt charging port in the rear of the VF8 between the air vents and other ports. This setup makes it convenient to charge power-hungry laptops and other devices easily from any seat in the car.

VinFast Is Listening and Making Meaningful Updates

Since Mark was able to drive one of the first-ever production VF8 models from last year, he lauded VinFast for listening to customer feedback and providing this latest model with excellent updates, including the great throttle response, sharper suspension with better turning characteristics, and a much more comfortable and smoother ride over any type of surface, especially rough pavement.

The Best Warranty and Lease Prices Around

By far Mark’s favorite features of the VF8 are the amazing lease specials along with the unbeatable warranty. We have talked a lot about how the VinFast warranty is the best in the business with a ten-year, 125,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty and a ten-year, unlimited-mile battery warranty. To lease a VinFast VF8 Eco, all you need to do is hand over $974 and you can drive away paying just $279 per month for 24 months. If you would like the top Plus trim, that will cost just $1,024 down with a $329 monthly payment for 24 months.

Tesla Lease Up? Why You Should Choose a VinFast Instead

Leasing a Tesla used to be the easiest electric vehicle decision a customer could make, mainly because it was the only real EV on the road for a number of years. Add in the Tesla-only Supercharger Network, and it was pretty much a done deal when shopping for your first or your tenth electric car. Now, though, more car manufacturers are making better EVs than ever, and young companies like VinFast are engineering and building competitive cars within the first few years of production. Throw in the fact that there are nearly 200,000 public charging ports in the United States, and there’s never been a better time to ditch a Tesla and check out what’s out there.

A Tesla Doesn’t Age So Well

There are many reasons not to buy or lease another Tesla that go beyond the current political landscape and any opinions of Elon Musk you may have. While a Tesla is still a good car, it has gotten a little long in the tooth in terms of styling. The Model Y and Model X, especially, have not aged well from a design standpoint. The Model X was the first major 3-row electric SUV out there, but now VinFast makes the VF9 that doesn’t look like a design accident.

A Historic Design Company

Instead of developing their electric vehicles around a modern theme that EVs must be radically different looking to conventional gas-powered cars, VinFast took a different approach by looking to famed Italian car designer Pininfarina to craft the essence and beauty of the VF8 and VF9. While some may balk at the idea that a design firm founded in 1930 can dictate the future of EV design, it should be noted that almost every automobile on the road since the 1950s owes some part of its design to a car Pininfarina created. They’ve only styled some of the most influential and beautiful vehicles ever for Ferrari, Lancia, Alfa Romeo, Bentley, Cadillac, Maserati, Volvo, Jaguar, of course VinFast, and more.

A Tesla Warranty Isn’t So Special

A key reason to move away from a Tesla and into a VinFast is the warranty. Tesla’s battery warranty is eight years and anywhere from 100,000 to 150,000 miles, depending on the car you have. That’s weird, don’t you think? So, if you buy a rear-wheel drive Model 3 or Model Y, they only warranty the battery up to 100,000 miles? That seems like it’s saying something about what they believe will happen to that car, because an all-wheel drive Model 3 or Model Y has a 120,000-mile warranty for the battery, and the Models S and X and the Cybertruck carry a 150,000-mile warranty. Makes complete sense… to no one.

A VinFast Warranty Is Special

VinFast gives every EV in their current lineup a 10-year, unlimited-mile battery warranty, as well as a 10-year, 125,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty. Every Tesla has a 4-year, 50,000-mile basic warranty. That’s the same warranty duration and mileage luxury gas-powered car manufacturers like BMW and Mercedes-Benz give their cars. That means Tesla doesn’t consider itself better than the status quo. VinFast believes in their cars so much they’ll prove how good they are by offering the best EV warranty in the world.

Teslas are Pointlessly Fast, VinFast Cars Are Usefully Fast

It has been well established at this point that all Teslas are fast. Realistically, they are faster than they really need to be. A ludicrously fast 0-60 time is great and all, but the real world has traffic lights. Going from traffic light to traffic light at breakneck speed and pace is neat the first few times you do it, but it eats up your battery range and gets boring after a while. And some passengers get ill from it. The VinFast VF8 and VF9 models weren’t meant to be speed demons, but they’re also not slouches in any sense of the word. The VF8 Plus can reach 60 mph in roughly 5 seconds, which is faster than a Honda Civic Type R at 5.3 seconds. The Civic Type R is a Bonafide sports car with a hot hatch that can beat Porsche 911s around racetracks. The VF8 beats it in a straight line. The VF9 is also competitive, boasting a 6.5-second 0-60 time. Two of the bestselling gas-powered, 3-row SUVs on the market, the Kia Telluride and Toyota Highlander, both get to 60 mph in about 7-7.5 seconds. Sure, the VinFast vehicles aren’t setting land speed records, but they are also faster than the average traffic.

Sony RIDEVU

One thing that you will not be able to get in any current Tesla model is Sony RIDEVU. RIDEVU allows passengers in the VF8 and VF9 to stream 2,000 different Sony-owned movies and TV shows either on the main infotainment screen when the vehicle is in park or on any device that is connected to the in-car WiFi.

VinFast Lease Specials

In the end, one of the biggest reasons buyers should look more closely at a VinFast is the price. When looking into leasing, the VF8 absolutely can’t be beat with its $199 per month for a 36-month lease special, with just $1,943 due at signing. The 3-row VF9 is just as stellar. With $2,000 due at signing, you’ll only pay $529 per month.

Leasing A VinFast VF8 vs Luxury Crossover

Leasing an electric vehicle is one of the smartest decisions a buyer can make when looking to get a new car. We have discussed before why leasing an EV makes sense in general, especially a VinFast VF8. Electric Vehicle technology is advancing at an amazing rate, and leasing can help keep you at the forefront of innovation.

Luxury Brands Are Nice, But Too Costly

One of the reasons leasing can be good is because leased vehicles typically have a lower monthly payment, especially for the VF8. Brands like BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, and the like work hard to convince buyers that they have everything customers need. However, all that glitters is not gold, as some vehicles will start from $50,000 and will quickly cost $70,000 just with a few simple options. Each of those brands has lease offers that are above $400 and $500 per month for base cars with thousands of dollars down before you can drive away. This is not the case with the VinFast VF8, as you can choose between the Eco and Plus that retail for $47,325 and $51,800, respectively, with most features and luxuries being standard equipment.

A Starting Price with Most Features Standard

For just $199 per month for 36 months, the VF8 makes an excellent case for being the best luxury vehicle on the market for the price. Unlike many cars that buyers would compare to the VF8, the VinFast comes standard with more features than almost anything else, such as a Head-Up Display, all-wheel drive, a dual-motor battery, and a towing capacity of up to 4,000 lbs, which is more than the standard capacity on the Volkswagen ID.4, Hyundai Ioniq 5, BMW iX, and more.

Speed and Range

The VinFast VF8 is also pretty fast for a luxury crossover that isn’t about performance. It will get from 0 to 60 mph in just 5.5 seconds and has a range of 264 miles, which is faster than the 8.5-second Mercedes-Benz EQB, which also only has 251 miles of driving range.

Trim Levels, Power, and Charging

The VF8 is available in two different trim levels, the Eco and Plus. The Eco model has a 349 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque, while the Plus model puts out 402 horsepower and 457 lb-ft of torque. Both vehicles feature an 87.7 kWh electric motor that drives all four wheels and can be charged from 10% to 70% in just 31 minutes on a Level 3 DC fast charger. Buyers can opt for the $599 VinFast Home Charger, which is hardwired to your breaker box and will output 250 volts and 50 amps.

The Best Lease Offers and Warranties Around

VinFast is offering the VinFast VF8 Eco for $199 per month for 36 months with $0 down or the Plus for just $249 for 36 months with $0 down. Both vehicles can be driven 10,000 miles per year without incurring any extra fees. Both models also come standard with a 10-year, 125,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty and a 10-year, unlimited-mile battery warranty, which is far and away the best battery warranty of any vehicle currently for sale.

We look forward to serving you.

It allows users to watch more than 2,000 movies from the comfort of their vehicle on the 15.6-inch infotainment screen or on their smartphones in the car.
