We arrived early because the offer for ride-along was scheduled at 8:45 for my wife a VF8 reservation holder. (She reserved back in January on the first day, and me the VF9 second day). It was absolutely not busy in the morning at 9. We were so early the ride alongside outside were not open yet only VinFast. (My wife was the only one contacted with a free ticket, but both of us got the offer to “skip the line”). They are honoring their original pricing for reservation holders that reserved up to Sept 1. After that it is the new pricing that is currently listed. At the new pricing it is debatable whether to buy the battery outright, but at the old pricing vs buying the battery (option which did not exist until recently) I think it’s a no brainer for us to just lease. I was a little bummed about the legroom in the third row seat. It was basically cushion and then floor right underneath, and my wife was disappointed by the smallish trunk).
Those EVs outside they were all ride along on the test track. We rode a whole bunch besides the VF8 (next time you go consider going at opening very little wait): ID.4, Bolt EUV, EV6, Taycan, PutOnYourBrakes Kia on rear drift caps; inside we did wait for 1500 Rebel, 4xe (plug-in Jeep). We test drove a Pacifica Plug-in “Hybrid” which was a little wait.
