“Green Drive Contest: Users’ First-Time Experiences with Electric Cars”

After the “water battle”, the electric car is still safe and sound

In the first stage, the “Green Drive – Win the Golden Dragon” contest, targeting VinFast vehicle users, received hundreds of entries. Many people said that they always wanted to spread the experiences of using VinFast electric cars in real life, and the contest was a great opportunity to do so. 

One of the impressive entries that received thousands of interactions and comments in just a few days after being posted was an article by customer Nguyen Thi Nhung (Thai Nguyen). On her personal Facebook page, she recounted her “dramatic” experience with the VF 8 electric car during a business trip to Yen Bai in October 2023.

Ms. Nhung said that on the day she went on a business trip, it rained heavily in Yen Bai all night. Nearly dawn, after being warned by nearby residents, she “was shocked” to find her VF 8 submerged in water. Worried that the car was damaged, Ms. Nhung quickly started the engine and tried to find high ground to avoid the water, but the deeper she went, the deeper the water got. After moving 1km, she finally found a high place to stop and call for rescue to bring the car back to the garage the next morning.

After being soaked in water for a long time, although the car was still functioning, quite a bit of water had entered. Ms. Nhung shared that she “cried out of worry”, but when VinFast’s technical department informed her that the VF 8 only needed to be cleaned and dried, and there were no other issues, she breathed a sigh of relief.

She admitted that if it had been a gasoline-powered car that day, she might have been stuck in the water in the middle of the night. “I sincerely thank VinFast for producing such an amazing car!”, she wrote on her personal page.

An exceptional smart assistant compared to other segments

For Mrs. Le Nguyen, the VF 5 Plus car brings her more than just means of transportation. She calls her car a “smart road companion” after traveling more than 1,000km together. The cheerful woman humorously “confides” in her VF 5 Plus car because it is “too smart”, especially the virtual assistant who is always enthusiastic and polite. As soon as the driver speaks up, the virtual assistant quickly serves, from turning on the radio, playing music to answering “thousands” of questions such as: “What day is it today?”, “Are there any events on this day?”, “What is the weather forecast for the coming days?”

The female customer happily shared that on a leisure day, she asked casually, “VinFast, do you have a lover yet?”. The virtual assistant hesitated for a moment and said, “No, I don’t have one.” She immediately asked, “Be my lover!”. The “car friend” replied, “Oh, you’re confessing to me” and quickly “closed the deal” by saying, “Agree! Agree!”.

Together with the intelligent virtual assistant, the VF 5 Plus electric car is also “more sensitive than imagined” with a series of safety warnings such as warnings of vehicles cutting in from behind, door warnings, blind spot warnings…”Too clever” is the praise Ms. Nguyen gave to VF 5 Plus. The safety features help the driver be more focused and handle situations better, even for inexperienced drivers.

In particular, VinFast electric cars help Ms. Nguyen easily manage every situation, from creating, tracking, and storing personal profiles; synchronizing information and data for optimal operation; navigation, remote vehicle location assistance; monitoring and tracking the journey…”The other day, in a crowded parking lot, I was still struggling and as soon as I pressed the lock button, you promptly said, ‘I’m here, I’m here…!’”, Ms. Le happily recalled.

VinFast electric cars that customers love and call “smart road companion”

The woman admitted that the intelligent and modern features of VF 5 Plus exceeded other models in the same segment. “I’m very happy to be one of the pioneering people to experience the amazing utilities that you bring. Please always be a lovely and intelligent companion like that – VinFast VF 5 Plus!”, Ms. Le Nguyen expressed her emotions in the conclusion of the article.

Like Ms. Le, Mr. Quan, the VF 8 car owner with the Facebook account name “Tran Tung Quan”, also admitted that his family and especially his children really enjoyed listening to funny stories from the intelligent assistant on the car. The special thing that his family experienced for the first time was driving an electric car without the smell of gasoline. As a result, the whole family did not worry about getting motion sickness and had the opportunity to travel together everywhere since owning the VF 8 car.

What Mr. Quan is most reassured about is the extremely cheap operating cost of the electric car. He calculated that the operating cost of the car is only about 600-700 VND/km for pioneering customers like him. Regarding after-sales service, the VF 8 car owner listed a series of rare benefits such as being able to go on two vacations at 5-star resorts, support money when the car has problems, participating in the global VinFast community, meeting and making friends with “local VinFast brothers and sisters” wherever he goes…
