i was in las vegas for the grant cardone convention mid february and thought i should go see the vf8 after watching this youtuber s take on the vf8, so i drove to the san diego showroom to take a look at one and meet up w an old friend from there,
my friend and i sat inside and looked around and we both thought i was a nice roomy car overall,
after talking to the sale rep there i walked away thinking that maybe vinfast had rushed things a bit bc they really are not sure of the 2nd delivery shipment to the usa, currently they only have the city edition for lease,
last i checked the vf8 msrp starts at 49k and decided to put in a reservation for a possible lease,
regarding the youtuber vid, i went back to watch it again and thought this guy is like the tesla haters in the early days, a bit zealous and unprofessional, maybe he doesn t know the automotive industry is a dirty playground w tons of dirty laundry that few ppl talk about, anyway w time we ll see how the vf8 pans out...
from my perspective i ve driven almost every single ev out there, they all have their own unique characteristics but in the end i cannot think of a single ev currently available that can surpass the model x - not even rolls-royce cars can be as exciting to look at or to drive as a model x,
but to be fair to other ev out there, none are as boring as any of my previously owned ice vehicles (and i have owned mercedes lexus etc...)

), but he's usually good about covering the weakness too. See his Mach-E GT PE test drive for a good example of this. Sometimes you do have to realize what isn't said though. E.g. if he says some car is fun or handles well, pay attention to the cars he chooses to compare it with - and consider which cars he avoided comparing. That'll give a hint where the car under review really falls in the "fun to drive" spectrum.
