Hi everyone, I'm Ben and I live in California. I hold a few VF9 reservations. My username is a railroad car that is used by an NYC-based suburban commuter railroad company. Yesterday I visited a VinFast store for the first time. Other than that, I will be happy to answer any questions you may have.

Welcome Ben!

Hi Ben: Welcome to the forum. the more the merrier here. Hopefully soon vehicles will begin arriving for at least test drives and soon afterwards US customer deliveries.

Get any info at your showroom visit? I plan on visiting mine this weekend and pump them for new info....

Well it seemed that I was smart to make all those reservations back in September since they came with a bunch of incentives that have since been removed by the company!

Aside from this I just wish the VF9 were in the showroom. The fact that VF9s come with running boards, a glovebox, and not having to pay extra for fully-equipped seats makes me feel a lot better. R1Ss don't offer ventilated seats after the first row. They're still good for a lot, but for some reason VF9s seem better suited for a black tie event / red carpet arrival situation

Side note, it's interesting that VinFast has no problem with spending the extra cash to provide all three premium features (heating, ventilating, and massaging) on the second row while everyone else is really hesitant to do this on any row besides the front.

Just one of many observations during my comparisons of different 6/7-pax EVs

Depends imo also on reputation and where the event is - if it’s in Hanoi I agree, if its in LA or NYC I differ.

Maybe they found the money for integrating this features by using two USB A ports plus one USB C instead of three USB C ports in the second row. ..!? /s
