It suspends your ability to use full self driving

My understanding is that it basically turns your Autopilot features off for a period of time if you get too many strikes.

Or just pay better attention! I know my truck’s a-pillar can hide an entire family so I am always careful approaching a stop sign. If they are crossing as I am approaching, they can stay in the blind spot until they are nearly in front of me. I’ve had 1 very close call in it and I clearly wasn’t paying enough…

As for benefits, I think the battery warranty/replacement is fairly significant.

I would imagine if I did solar and an electric car(s) it could increase the usage enough to break even faster. Right now I am spending about $6-800/mo in gasoline, plus about $120 in electric on the house. Shifting nearly $1,000/mo over to a solar loan payment (0%, 8yrs in my state) could be an easy burden shift…

I like the idea of this car a lot better than I actually like this car. I have a hard time seeing $4500. As someone else noted, he also listed it for $3750. If he would take $3k, I’d probably give him a reluctant NP for this market

I can’t afford a car. Is VinFast for me?

My thought exactly. I am okay with subscriptions if they provide incremental benefits, can be purchased a la carte(no minimum time), and the vehicle can function without them.

Yeah, but then you’ve got a Nissan, and it came from a Nissan dealer.

I am happy to pay subsription fees for incremental benefits, especially when they can be purchased a la carte. Things like GM supercruise, GM onstar, spotify premium, XM radio, maintenance plans, etc. all provide incremental benefit (whether they are worth it or not is different). This is just to use the car that you…

Its not about buyers giving staying power, its about MFG’s earning it. While this seems like a decent car, I can’t see anything that is overly competitive about this car and frankly, I (and I assume others as well) find the battery subscription extremely offputting. What additional benefits do I unlock for the cost of…

I was ready to switch over to to an electric mower this year until I inherited a nice walk behind from my father. Its total excess for what I need and I am trying to reduce how much time I spend working on mundane gas engines. My brother may be buying a house in the next few months. I may pass it off to him to avoid…

It’s not always just about money.

$0.30?? Damn...where do you live??

the lightning would save you $9400 over 100,000 miles in energy alone.

he doesn’t drive enough for “gas prices” to be a relevant consideration.

It’s like Florida leadership and Texas leadership are having a “hold my beer” competition.

I’m generally not a fan of the modern ‘squinty’ slit headlight.

This is what I am imagining! roughly Q5 size and ultra luxury. The Lexus RX is only slightly bigger and to avoid cannibalization, I would imagine it can’t be nicer than that. Not sure if that is enough for the land cruiser crowd

Thats the answer to the problem we didn’t know we had!
