 Good morning folks, and you guys requested this, so here is another video where I am traveling yet again. This time, in Vietnam. 17 hours, three flights, and I'm finally here in Vietnam, and this is a beautiful country. I'm excited to be here. It's a lot of great things to see. I want to give a big shout out to VinFast for sponsoring this video because we're coming here to check out the VinFast vehicles and also everything they have to offer with the VinFast group. Of course, the manufacturing of the VF8 and VF9, which are the electric vehicles, the EVs. So let's not waste any time, and let's go check out Vietnam. Okay, it wasn't all partying the first day in Vietnam. We got to stay at the Vinh Pearl Hotel, which is a beautiful facility. We stayed in actually a couple Vinh Pearls in Vietnam, great five-star hotel facility, and it's part of a Vinh group. Now, it wasn't all fun and games and just hanging around the beach. We also got to check out VinFast's factory facility, and honestly, it's massive. 9 million acres of just manufacturing space. Four, of course, the EVs. Some, of course, new robotics. You got to see the manufacturing facilities in depth. Now, some areas we had to drive through. Some areas we were able to walk around like here. This was kind of the molding press for the different parts of the body panels of the car, which is pretty cool to see. Also got to hang out with a couple of the YouTubers throughout this whole trip. So it was nice to see that what they talked about is actually coming to pass. Electric buses is something they also make, too, as well. And this facility just had a massive amount of space. This kind of just let me know that, hey, look, these guys are actually serious. It's not just them talking about things here and there. They also showed us their batteries. They couldn't show us a lot because some things were proprietary. But as I mentioned again, it was really interesting to see that, you know, they went from stating one thing and saying, hey, we're going to go into EVs about two years ago. And now we're getting to see the fruits of their laborers here with vehicles actually coming out pretty soon and also being manufactured. So that part was really interesting and cool for me to see. So next up, of course, is for us to head to Hanoi. It's been a fun trip. Shooting with these guys here. Of course, Andy canoopsies back there over there. But one of the fun things about being in Vietnam here with Vin Fast is the fact that we got to drive around with the car, the VF8 in Hanoi. Now, to me, this was a fun experience. I could lament and explain, but how about I just show you and then you hear from the other guys because it truly was a deep dive into what the city was all about. The feels and also the car was great. Let's go. Vietnam is incredible. I mean, the scenery is amazing, the place we're at. Never seen anything like this in my life. It's gorgeous out here. It's hot, it's humid, but we're just living. Man, the VF8 is crazy. I mean, it's like the fact that they made all of this in such a short period of time is unbelievable. And it's such a polished experience. The car looks nice, interior is gorgeous too. The ride experience, so smooth, so fluid. Like, you know, they're killing it at Vin Fast. They're killing it. The way that we did it is we got it at night. The hustle and bustle of the city along with an electric vehicle, it just made for like a really good backdrop. And it showed the realness of Vietnam. Like, yeah, we're on the beach. Yeah, we're on a resort. But like the simple fact that we got to use the Vin Fast vehicle in its natural environment, like where it would actually be used, that was like the icing on the cake. We got to take turns driving. There was a lot of traffic, there were a lot of variables. We had to use the outside cameras just to make sure we didn't hit things. And, you know, we stopped, we grabbed some stuff to eat. We grabbed so many different shots. And it was just fun. Like, we were out until three o'clock in the morning. We had to be out by seven. But overall, I think the experience was... What was most important about the experience was that that vehicle allowed us to like bond as a group. We got to create together. We got to share new memories and we got to do it in a AC vehicle in Hanoi at night. And I'll probably never forget this for the rest of my life. It's time for our full day test drive. And this was a very different experience from the drive we had in Hanoi because this was a newer production model from the one we had in Hanoi. And it felt really nice. This car drives smooth. You can see it, you can feel it. A big shout out to Andy and Knoopsy for being my outdoor cameraman. Capturing some really great shots while we shot this. Now, I got to sit down and drive for almost an hour. We kind of sold the vehicle for a much longer time. And it felt good. Felt comfortable, felt very relaxed. I had, of course, one of the very fast drivers there. They were shooting some content as well while I was in the car. But the experience was just very enjoyable. Like, you know, you've got a very plush interior, which we'll talk about in a second how they've also done a lot of things to make the interior look fashionable and nice. Got some drum footage here, of course, for you. Show you some overhead shots of the car. The car looks nice. You've got a center console right there with leather seats, very easy to access. Now, I'm not the biggest fan of center consoles but it works well as 15.6 inches. Nice touchscreen display within this unit. And you've also got nice leather seats, heated and cooled seat both front and back of the car. Spacious trunk for you as well. Just great styling overall. Now, the one thing about this vehicle you're gonna like is just the pickup speed. You've got a 420 horsepower, zero to 16 out of 5.3 seconds, but a really, really nice drive. And I think one that a lot of people definitely appreciate once you get to check it out. Two things I love about the VinFast VFA, the size. Like it's super smart of VinFast to come out with like a mid-size SUV. You know, you think of Tesla with their Model 3 and if you've ever ridden in that it's just too small for Americans. Other places around the world it's fine and some Americans it's fine. But you wanna be able to have space to put things in the trunk. You wanna have space for your family if you have one, two or three kids to put them in the car and I think this is the right size and I think that's a big reason why the Tesla Model Y is one of the best selling electric cars in the world is because of the size. So, VF8, I love that. The second thing I love about it is the premium feel with the leather all around. Like the dashboard, the seats, there's air cooled seats in the front and in the back and it's incredibly comfortable. But really what I'm super excited about is the VF9. I know this is the VF8 but and it's supposed to come out soon but the VF9 is just a little bit bigger. I have three kids. It has a third row in case we have friends that are going with and it has more kilowatts. For me, VF8 is a great car but I would like my wife to have the VF9 with the third row, with the longer range battery pack. But overall, it's been really fun to drive out here. Once CES comes around in January, I'm in a fully test drive like the actual full production ones that are going to customers and I bet they're gonna be pretty flawless. So anyway, good car and great trip. Just sorry about the sweat. Vietnam is a little hot and humid. Man, this was an interesting trip. It was so much fun spending the week in Vietnam and experiencing the country first hand. I got to see a lot of stuff that the company is doing. I got to see the country as a whole and honestly, it's a great experience. Now, being fast is part of the VIN group and we got to see some of the real estate they had and how they're changing real estate in Vietnam and what they're just doing there with some really nice, great mini cities with just great development and it looked really fun. It looked like a place like I would love to stay there myself. Then also checking out the VIN University where you got to see them change the level of education, higher education in the country was great and then seeing the manufacturing but again, experiencing the vehicle itself. Now, what I liked a lot was we had some really great interior. Yes, I said that's some good interior in the vehicle. The vehicle felt really solid overall and I just like what they've done. Now, I want to do a full test drive because I want to spend more time with the car itself and it was great to just experience the country as a whole but for me, the biggest thing was going, driving through Hanoi and basically having that experience of locals coming over, knocking on the window going, do you know this is our car? This is made in Vietnam. That to me was probably the part that really got me the most and said like these years, by the way, two years from announcement. So that part was actually pretty cool. I want to give a shout out to Dan from What's Inside and also to Andy, Canubci, Mike who helped me record all of them contributing to this video. It was fun, it was great. Till next time guys, go watch out more stuff on the channel and always enjoy your entertainment. Now, I gotta go jet ski.
