Ok just posting this one time, these are now being shipped (in Vietnam)

—

VinFast (VFS) announced it has officially begun shipping its new mini electric SUV, the VinFast VF 3. Starting under $13,000, the new VF 3 generated strong buzz, with VinFast calling it a “social media phenomenon” ahead of shipments.

After introducing the VF 3 in January, VinFast said the new mini electric SUV is designed to make city travel “not only sustainable but also more accessible.”

Four months later, VinFast opened pre-orders with a special introductory price of 235 million VND, or about $9,248. That’s for the battery subscription model. Between May 13 and 15, VinFast offered the VF 3 (with the battery) for 315 million VND, or around $12,400.

VinFast noted that paying for the VF 3 in full costs half the price of the cheapest gas-powered car in Vietnam.

However, buyers could opt for a 50 to 70 million VND ($2,000 to $2,750) down payment, with the rest financed for over eight years.

Within 66 hours, VinFast secured 27,649 pre-orders, a new Vietnam automotive record. VinFast called the VF 3 a “social media phenomenon in Vietnam,” topping the trends charts.

Thank you very much and God bless you.

Just posting this one time, to say these have started shipping now, in Vietnam.

They will start being released in the Philippines, next. Apparently in America in 2026. I think.

Not sure whether VinFast will be producing them at their new production plant in North Carolina.

But they are now being produced in Vietnam.

Small (tiny) cars.
