Almost Stranded The VinFast VF8! But It's My Own Fault 

Yeap ! Because vinfast charging service recuse car in vietnam is about 2$ per once. So, some one tested VF8 range from 1% to 0%. He drove 10 km ~ 6 miles, and he stopped at charger station even he could continue.

Agreed, a Tesla Universal wall charge can charge any EV.

Designed by Pininfarina. 👍

@@konliner9286 I've heard that but forgot. Great designer. Thanks.

Iphone Bluetooth is automatically turn on when iphone find device. You can test with bluetooth speakers or ear pods. Another case with Android Bluetooth is still turn off.

latest software update will improve this. Have you got it yet?

Yes it's pretty accurate. I have plus model, it's EPA range is 250 but it never goes below 260 no matter whether AC is ON, high speeds etc.

Thank you for this advice!!

I did something similar when the brakes went out on my Leaf and I also had a problem with the I-key. Removed both cables from the 12 volt battery for 15 minutes to be sure the on-board computer was reset. It worked well. I had pulled the electrical connectors off of the brake system previously, but it only worked temporarily. When I mentioned it at the dealer I was told it rebooted. When it happened again I pulled the cables.

So you're saying remove the negative pole for 1 minute reboots the EV UI? I studied how to reboot our EVs: R1T and Ioniq6 but this is good to know for any EV.

Control system mainboard, sensors, ... electric devices run on accu 12v battery. What happen When accu 12v is low ? Alert Messages pop up alots. Because sensors don't work right, so the result from sensor signal is out of green zone even car situation is normal. Critical low voltage on accu 12v liquid makes death-battery in 4-5 times, you need a new accu 12v liquid (the same of gas car accu) Vinfast system was built on QNX kernel of BlackBerry. I see Vinfast have primary and secondary system. Primary is for basic control. And Secondary system is for Human Interface Device (HID). When Kyle got this spring-roll, he pushed the dashboard in frozen. it's so easy task. Actually, HID is stopped respond, but primary still worked fine. When you lock the car and turn off, HID is off, but primary is still on and run background.

@@quangvinh1153 Good explanation. Thanks. That explains why when you change the 12V battery in the Ioniq 6, you lose efficiency data going back to when you bought the vehicle.

@@quangvinh1153 Kyle was banging on the UI like crazy and not allowing it to catch up. I thought that was not nice to do to a company car that a friend was going to be driving. I didn't like that.

Not sure it will work. I have a Model Y and VF8. Had an adapter that did not work and VinFast folks mentioned that it was not compatible. Unless they have made changes to the module / software to accept Tesla chargers + J1772 adapter.

@@NanoSchaap on a Tesla Level2 (evse) charger? That is odd, every vehicle I’ve plugged in to that device with my J1772 adapter works fine (Mustang Mach-E, Blazer EV, and others).

@@Bzzap83 Agreed, all EVs should be able to use the Tesla to J1772 adapter. (level2 charging)

@@NanoSchaap How would you compare the two vehicles? My VF8 is still relatively new but i got a smoking deal compared to the MY. I do expect some growing pains in return that will get better with software. But i was really close to getting the MY instead 3 months ago. I am happy...quite a few things it has that MY doesnt, but yes there are things VF8 still needs to improve that are noticable every now and then.

@@NanoSchaap it works for me. With exception of Tesla supercharger, all Tesla’s level 2 works for the Vf8

I travel with a few adapters and on longer trips bring a EVSE (J+ booster which is very durable but cost more than my primary home system).

100% will document it all - I think the whole road trip will go on the Out of Spec Motoring channel but I'll do updates here on the podcast.

That car looks so good.

Hers has the outdated software version. That’s exactly what happened to mine, and fixed after the update

@@APMC100 Yes, I also think so. She is quite far from any service workshop or showroom of Vinfast, and for major software updates, they do not allow OTA updates, but have to bring the car to the showroom for staff to update. Small OTA is probably not enough to fix all the errors she is currently encountering.

The one I use came with Spring Roll- VinFast Portable Charger - and it works great! It has the option to switch to 110V or the 220V plug to work to get a trickle charge or a bit more out of the nema 1450. Not sure who manufacturers it, I'll have to see.

Cars are meant to be driven, not to get the hands dirty. This was exactly what happened to my vf8, after 6 months driving an outdated software. New update fixed that

Updated: I've just been told by another owner, yes what you said was correct. I did not know that

2.8mi/kw with speed 60-70mph 3.9mi/kw with speed 30-40mph

Dropping from 1% to 0%, VF8 could run slowly in 8-10km with ~ 20-30km/h . It was tested in vietnam by an owner. Because, Vinfast recuse car is about 2$/case. So, Why not? Haha

You could compare the range Tom of State of Charge gets in NJ with the the range that they get in CO/WY/NE. However, there are significant differences in the terrain, traffic, and weather that I am not sure how useful a single test would be. I would expect a significant overlap in test data if a series of tests were made in each location. Not saying it would not be interesting or useful, just that getting a good number will require a significant effort.

Fair points. The advantage of this would be that it is the same vehicle within a close timeframe (ie minimal battery degradation change). The usual range tests are single tests rather than a series anyways.

​But before you get the sw update, you can do this to get you back to using ADAS feature for the long ride..​@@APMC100

Apparently that is correct (I never used that method)

It looks so good- the shape and the color.

I see you everywhere saying bad things about Vinfast. You've never even touched a Vinfast car to feel how beautiful and powerful it is. Regarding the origin of the car, have you seen the Vinfast factory in Hai Phong? 50-60% of the car's components are from Vietnam, and other systems are from Germany, Italy, batteries are from China (same as Tesla). I know you make money from these dirty comments. I advise you to look for a decent job to make money.

​@@sonnguyenba1709 I'm here to expose the lies so that garbage can find its rightful place in the garbage can. VF8 does not come from Vietnam, because, according to Mr. Phan Dang Tuat, President of the Vietnam Support Industries Association, "Vietnam can only produce screws to fix car license plates. According to Frandroid " The electric VF8 is the target of an investigation in the United States following a serious accident that claimed the lives of a family of four. The cause: faulty driving aids. But in addition to this dramatic accident, more than 11 complaints have already been lodged against the company due to similar concerns, where the car abruptly changed trajectory. That's not all, as other owners have also reported anti-collision system failures, while some have indicated problems with semi-autonomous driving. One motorist saw his vehicle hit traffic cones at night on a freeway. I suggest you take your lies elsewhere.

You are so outdated.

No one cares about your baseless comments. Stop commenting spam. You should touch the car, sit on it to feel how beautiful, strong and safe it is.

Who wants to drive a car that everyone else has? Do you want to wear a uniform so you can.. "fit" in with the rest? I, as a VinFast VF8 owner, certainly don't! LOL

"Inferior"? Poor choice of words. Quirkier maybe, more competitively price I would say so. There is a reason why people don't wear school uniforms to a party.

@@APMC100 it's inferior an every way.

@@whynotstartusingyourbrain8726 nah

Don't tell people who have money how to spend it? and never say their choice is stupid. Each car has a different beauty. You have never touched a Vinfast car but you criticize it badly. So what is your purpose? Have you understood anything about Vinfast cars?

You do not even own a car, how do you know liar died Republic of Vietnam 3/// bastard?

Bullshit 3/ Lol...

stop liar dude

You don't know that in Vietnam tens of thousands of Vinfast Vf8 cars run every day, and it is also the safest car. So never say baseless things.

@@sonnguyenba1709 unsafe cars even though “ made by Vici “ apparently they are equipped with Chinese parts that is why the North Carolina plant has extinct due to American 🇺🇸 have rejected any Vinfasts.
