Hello all I finally did an actual Road Test drive yesterday. My wife and I like the car but I was curious on what the actual range was on the CE. We'll come to find out that it is close to what the normal is according to the estimator. Now I know this is not a real range calculator. However the one I test drove was a red plus that has 0.0 - 0.1 miles on it. So I was the very first person to drive it. The SOC was 95% with estimated 245.5 miles of range. So either the CE are extremely generous on range estimates. Or marketing is being very cautious on range estimates. I am guessing the 2nd one.

The seat was a bit stiff but can get use to it. The lumbar can be adjusted and that helped. One of the issues that this one has which probably just needs updated software is the high setting on braking Regen was not working. An error message was coming up that it was not using high Regen.

The ADAS is nice but did not think it was on until I was starting to go over the line and the wheel would guide it over for lane centering when cruise was not on.

Wife rode in backseat and enjoyed the ride said it was very quiet and like you were gliding in air.

...that might be due to the 95% SoC.. I know Tesla reduce regen braking when at 100%, so maybe.

On the Tesla the range displayed is EPA and so can't be trusted. Wonder what the vinfast is using and if it updates to what has been driven.

Although no longer a reservation holder really want to know when the next batch arrive and what specs/range they have.......
