- Blast off! (bright music)
And I also appreciate the eyebrows.
Jelly mode.
Today I'm at CES 2023.
It's the opening morning, 10:00 AM.
Everything just opened up.
And at 10:15, there's a press conference with VinFast,
and that's a company that I went to Vietnam
to check out their new electric cars.
And today, they're announcing more details
on three cars that will be available in 2023.
Check this out.
Brett is here right now. He is a YouTuber.
And look at the bag he's rocking.
He has this signature series What's Inside bag.
This guy is elite.
- Best one you can get.
- [Host] Let's hear the sales pitch
of the What's Inside Backpack.
- So I've used many backpacks, too many pockets they have.
This one is the perfect amount of pocket backpack space.
I can fit everything in.
- Already, it's gonna be a good day.
I mean, look at that.
So yeah, the press conference starts in five minutes
so we should probably go in there.
And thank you to VinFast for sponsoring this video.
Let's go see your new cars.
We're in the West Hall right now walking in
and VinFast has a killer spot.
All right, there is a ton of people here
for the press conference.
Just waiting.
We got the VF6 and the VF7, which is their newer ones
that they're announcing more details on that.
I do appreciate a booth that has a proper fog machine.
And the VinFast booth, that's a good one, check it out.
(upbeat music)
When you come to CES, you will learn
that there's a lot of things called vaporware
where there's a lot of vehicles,
a lot of products that are cool,
but they don't really have a launch date,
and they're never going to come to the market.
And then here we are a year later,
they already have the VF8 that's out here,
it's in America,
I'm going to go right in one in a little bit here,
and the VF9 should be coming this year.
It's like the larger premium SUV.
So not you're typical CES vaporware excitement thing.
They actually have cars in America.
So this is the VF6 and it is very comfortable.
I'm tall, I'm six foot three and I fit great inside of here.
You can see the spot right here for the heads up display,
which I really like that feature.
Both models come with a 12.9-inch screen.
The seats are high quality seats, comfortable,
perforated right here,
that makes it a little more breathable.
I mean, look at the sunroof.
This is a super wide camera lens, but it's great for this.
You can see right now, look at the sunroof,
it goes all the way across.
Which this is not a small vehicle,
but this makes it feel even larger inside of the cabin.
You've got the five seat configuration inside of here.
You have the touch screen
and then a few buttons to get the car going.
I point out the different buttons
because a lot of times car manufacturers get carried away
with actual physical buttons.
You also have some physical buttons on the steering wheel.
The window and lock button over here,
hazard button, radio.
And you even have a little bit of room to store
maybe your purse or something right down here
in between the two seats.
I'm getting in the back seat.
There's a ton of headroom inside of here,
and there's a lot of leg room in here.
Again, I'm super tall.
This is one of the more smaller economical versions
of VinFast electric car options that are out there.
We don't know the exact pricing right now,
but the VF6 and the VF7 could be a force in America
because of the pricing and because of how comfortable
and nice it is inside of it, and the technology that it has.
And here's your trunk space inside of the VF6.
And it does look like these seats can go down
to give you more room if you need it.
The VF6, which is the most economical of them all,
does have your traditional door handles right here.
But the VF7 on the other hand,
has more of an electric car style
fancier aerodynamic door handle.
Here's the door handle on the VF7.
Let's get inside of the VF7, which is, I can tell,
a bit more of a premium from the VF6.
The door handles are fancier,
this leather package for the seats is unbelievable.
The VinFast VF7 Plus model gets you a few features
that are just a little more luxurious.
One of those is the screen size.
You can get up to a 15-inch screen inside of here.
With the non-Pro VF7 model, you get a 12.9-inch screen.
I love the black and red leather.
It feels premium in my hand, it looks so premium on here.
Wireless charger for your phone right here.
You can plug in and charge more things right there
with the adapter.
And again, take a look. The roof is very similar to the VF6.
You've got this giant sunroof
that goes from the very front up here
all the way to the back with no beam in the middle.
It really opens things up
and makes it feel a lot more comfortable in here.
The VF7 has 19 to 21-inch wheels.
You can tell they're larger, more premium sized,
versus the VF6 that has a 17 to 19-inch wheel.
The VF6 is going to be only launched in rear wheel drive
and the VF7 is going to be launched in rear wheel drive
except for the premium version
will have all-wheel drive option.
So one of the questions is,
how much range can you get inside of these vehicles?
Well, the VF7 can get you 248 miles with the Eco version,
and 237 with the Plus version.
That's 174 to 184 horsepower.
Now, the VF7 gives you a maximum of 280 miles range
or 268 miles range with the Pro version.
This might be your first electric car that you get,
and you might be wondering,
what am I gonna do with 230 to 280 miles range?
Is that going to be enough?
And I'll tell you,
my wife's electric car that she's been driving for six years
has around 230 miles range.
Anywhere around 250 miles, honestly is great,
especially if you're getting a better price
for the electric car.
I am genuinely intrigued to see what the pricing
is going to be for the VF7 and the VF6
because they could really make a lot of noise
with the right pricing
because it is a high quality premium car.
Stay tuned for that.
Here's your VF8 that was launched in America,
delivered in December of 2022.
They're still taking reservations.
This thing is still being delivered.
and this is the larger VF9, which should be coming out soon.
This thing is beautiful looking.
Look at the hood.
Look at that down in there.
And also you can tell this car is longer
than the other ones and has more storage in the back.
And I, Loki, kind of love this green color.
Yeah, the six and the seven are smaller vehicles,
but they don't lack on interior size
or actual features that are inside of it.
I'm gonna go outside and see if we can go on a ride.
(upbeat music)
Just outside of the Las Vegas Convention Center,
VinFast has taken over the entire parking lot over here
for test rides of the VF8.
I've driven this car when I was in Vietnam,
but now it's time to really test the ones
that are going to the customers here in America.
The VF8, we are going to go fast as quick as I can go,
but don't worry, VinFast, we'll be safe.
Let's go. Three, two, one.
Blast off.
Breaks!
Oh, yeah.
Jeff, you get to do this all day?
Oh man, it never gets old.
(tires squealing) Zero to 60 in 5.5 seconds.
But I will tell you, getting in an electric car
and just gunning it,
there's nothing like that instant acceleration.
It just gets off the line and just gets going.
- [Passenger] There you go.
Can you see it goes exactly the way you want it-
- Look at that.
If you look back five to 10 years ago,
there were not cars that were at CES.
This is Consumer Electronics Show.
And a big reason
is because a lot of the gas powered cars over the years
didn't really have the greatest electronics in it.
You had the buttons,
you have the CD player, or the music device,
and then you had the speedometer on there.
That's not consumer electrics,
that's pretty basic technology that's inside of vehicles.
But the introduction of electric cars
has really made everybody up the game
when it comes to the electronics that are inside of the car.
I'm gonna show you something
that I've never seen inside of a car, gas or electric.
It's called AMA.
Not the ask me anything,
not the American Medical Association,
Automatic Mirror Adjustment.
It's one of those things where it's like,
you didn't know that you needed it
until you actually had it and then you're like,
"How do I drive in a car that doesn't have this?"
When you're on the home screen,
you click right here on this AI.
And check it out, that's my face!
I found the camera.
It's right here just above the steering wheel right there.
If you look at the arrows, the arrows,
if I look to the left or I look to the right,
or I look up, down, you can see the arrows moving.
And I also appreciate the eyebrows.
Like look at the red eyebrow dots.
Check out the mirrors right now.
This is pointed down at the ground.
Right now on that side, down at the ground also.
If I push this AMA button.
- [Car Voice] Look straight ahead.
- I look straight ahead. - Being adjusted.
- [Host] It's adjusting right now.
Based off of what it's seeing from my eyes and my face.
- It's done. - It's done.
- [Car] Press the button to confirm.
- I look over here, that looks great,
I can see right behind me.
I look over there, perfectly aligned, and I push Confirm.
It looks great.
And you can do this for multiple drivers.
It's just one of those little nice life things
that makes your life a little bit easier
that you didn't know you needed
and it looks super, super cool over there.
Even my red eyebrows.
There are four cameras here on the VinFast VF8,
one on the front, one on the back,
one on the left side, one on the right side.
You can go into the touchscreen
and touch and see what each one of the cameras look like.
But there's one mode inside of the VinFast VF8
that is really cool.
And it's called Jelly mode.
Where you have a 360 degree view of the vehicle.
It's like the car is invisible.
It's like straight from a movie.
The thing to me that's the most impressive
is that they're only using the four cameras.
You can even use this mode while you're driving
and see everything around you, which can be super helpful
if you're driving next to a curb or something like that.
Jelly mode is cool.
Woo, okay. VinFast.
I really like the future where electric is going.
I love the ride
and I also love the software inside of there.
There's some really cool features that they have,
and this is their first month
that they're actually being delivered to customers.
I'm excited to see one year from now, two years from now,
what they're able to do with the technology
inside of the VF8, the VF9,
the recently announced VF7 and VF6
that will be open for reservations in March of 2023.
It's been really fun.
VinFast, good job at CES.
And thank you for bringing me out here
and sponsoring this video
and showing me the current technology you have.
I really like these cars.
All right, see ya.
Dude, this is the guy.
We only sold 500 of the Signature series backpacks
and then we sold thousands of the actual first edition,
and now they're all sold out.
I would say, go buy them right now,
but I just wanna say, I'm really happy to be at CES
and to see our creation, our backpack.
It is here, from Brett, (airplane roaring)
that I've never actually met in person.
Now here we are at CES, waiting for the doors to open,
another 10 minutes and we can get in.
Wait for the airplane to go.
