This is Vinfast from Vietnam and I have to admit, the build quality was almost “Mercedes-quality”.    The panel gaps and overall impression of their cars was extremely positive and impressive. I’ve never seen ANY American car with this kind of build quality and that includes US-made Japanese vehicles. Far less bucks than almost any other electric car maker for an alternative to regular gas-powered cars for customers that aren’t looking for something like a cutting-edge Tesla. Think “Toyota Camry or SUV” for the masses using batteries … absolutely exciting as a refrigerator … for people who just want transportation and couldn’t care less about the driving experience or features … but are tired of maintenance and paying for gas. As is the case for most of the new electric cars, they blatantly rip-off the appearance of the Tesla screen and that’s a good thing. They are coming to the US this year supposedly, and I haven’t a clue on their reliability or of any of the other 100+ new electric car startups. But I have to admit, for the market they are aiming for, they hit the bullseye.

Although not as exciting as a Taser spoon, this company came to the right place for tech-weirdness.   I can only assume their market is the perpetually late riser for work who only had time for coffee and dreams of fruit …
