I've had my Vinfast VF8 for four weeks or so, and although I anticipated some challenges, the problems have been too much to handle. My Tesla charges much more quickly on the same socket, but charging is excruciatingly slow—more than 6 hours on a 220V plug for only a 15% battery boost. Furthermore, the vehicle has other serious issues, including regenerative braking that frequently fails, difficulty shifting into gear without a reset, and the inability to remember any settings (the air temperature always resets to 80°F!). Even Apple CarPlay is ineffective, and none of the safety features function as they should. Software updates are weeks overdue, but the service has been there several times with temporary remedies. Because she doesn't feel safe, my wife won't even operate the vehicle anymore. Although I enjoy some features of the VF8, I'm at a loss right now. Has anyone else encountered comparable problems? How long did it take for the issue to be fixed, and have you discovered any useful workarounds?
