The first shipment is on its way to US customers.

But, what I find interesting is this Battery Subscription plan but:

A Battery Subscription Program for Everyone
The VinFast Battery Subscription Program is a truly innovative service model that makes premium electric vehicles (EVs) more accessible to everyone. When customers purchase VinFast EVs, the battery cost is excluded from the vehicle purchase price.

Customers will pay a monthly subscription fee where VinFast bears responsibility for battery repairs, maintenance, and replacement costs to provide a worry-free experience for the life of the vehicle.

Policy: For VinFirst Pioneers who purchase a VF 8 or VF 9 in 2022 or 2023, customers will enjoy permanent subscription rates for the entire life of their vehicle.

The battery subscription policy is considered a key solution for customers to make a transition to electric vehicles easier, allowing VinFast to become "the car for everyone."

Two subscription plans will be offered. The first, called the Flexible plan, costs $35 a month for the 5-passenger VF 8 and $44 a month for the 7-passenger VF 9. For that price, the owners gets 310 miles of driving per month. After the monthly allotment, drivers pay an extra charge of $0.11 per mile for the VF 8 and $0.15 for the VF 9. If the vehicle is sold, the subscription policy is transferred to the new owner.

The second is called the Fixed subscription. It has no mileage caps and it will cost $110 a month for the VF 8 and $160 a month for the VF 9. Green Car Reports explains things this way: If you own a VF 8, you would need to drive 681 miles per month on the Flexible plan to equal the cost of the Fixed plan. With the VF 9 you could drive 773 miles in a month on the Flexible plan before your cost equals the price of the Fixed plan.

awww....both y'all love each other. redneck fam style

Was trying to think of a comparison but apples to peaches for sure. For ICE, three year extended warranty for $3k so $1k/yr. Plus a couple oil changes so add in maybe $200 for $1200/yr. The higher batt plan is $1900/yr so in the same ballpark. Dunno. All new, all fun.

add a signature since I'm here in profile anyway

The "not so funny" funny part of this is that this "monthly subscription" thingy is catching on.

So, you just bought the wife that big, new, fancy, SUV. Funny thing is that Chevy/Ford/Whoever wants you to pay a "monthly" to use the seat heaters?? Etc, etc, etc.

I know that Mercedes was charging an "activation fee" to enable you to use Apple or Android "car play" !!!
