![]() ![]() That means the car I drove is 100 percent representative of the final product being sold to consumers. The company has already started customer deliveries of its first electric SUV, with 14 retail locations currently up and running in California and another 14 expected to open in the Golden State before the end of the year. ![]() Let me be clear: The VinFast VF8 is not a concept or pre-production vehicle. ![]() That alone would’ve been enough to tarnish my opinion of this debut product from Vietnam’s ambitious automotive startup. The road wasn’t super curvy and we’d been cruising along at a moderate pace, but the sheer amount of bouncy body motions coming through the VF8’s suspension made being in this electric crossover – and I say this without hyperbole – unbearable. My passenger wasn’t feeling so hot, either.Ĭomposure regained, we hit the road again, this time with me riding shotgun, and we only made it a couple of miles before the uneasy feeling returned. But I wasn’t the only one in a state of confusion and nausea. On the shoulder of a scenic road in San Diego County, I paced around the VF8 wondering what the hell was going on. I’d been driving the VinFast VF8 for less than an hour when my inner ear sounded the alarm and politely (read: urgently) requested I stop to get some fresh air. Well, it took me 37 years, 72 days, 9 hours, and 30 minutes, but it finally happened: I got carsick for the very first time. ![]()
