VinFast VF7 Sky Infinity - Performance, VFM, and warranties everything looks fancy, until the pathetic After-Sales service hits hard.

I bought my VF7 Sky Infinity in February and had driven around 4000 km, including blissful long trips. That joy turned into pure frustration overnight.

The nightmare began on 26th April: After a full home charging, the AC suddenly died with a “Cooling System Fault” error. In Delhi’s scorching summer, this is nothing short of a disaster. 

  • 28th April:  The car was finally picked up and taken to the workshop.
  • 29th April to 2nd May: Days of silence and vague updates. They first said it was just an AC gas leak, replaced an O-ring, fault in radiator fan, and topped up the gas again.
  • 3rd May: The shocking reality hit — they declared it a major failure. The entire AC system is dead: compressor, AC pipes, condenser, accumulator, chiller, and multiple other parts all need replacement.

In a car that’s barely 3 months old.

The service reality has been even worse:

  • Extremely slow and confused diagnosis with poor communication.
  • Constant workshop delays (holidays, weekends, endless “checking”).
  • Painfully slow/no parts supply from VinFast.
  • Approval for the major parts only came after repeated follow-ups on 5th May.
  • As of now, the parts are still not available. The car remains stuck and unusable.

The service advisor gave a tentative timeline of 10 days — which has already passed with no clear revised ETA or update.

Bottom line: This level of failure in the AC system of a brand-new car is completely unacceptable. VinFast’s after-sales service appears totally unprepared — poor parts reliability, terrible availability, slow response, and zero sense of urgency.

Strongly advised warning: Think very carefully before buying a VinFast. The car might drive well initially, but if something goes wrong, you could be left stranded with no reliable support. This experience has been deeply disappointing and frustrating.

The Vinfast charger sucks!

The home charger cable provided by Vinfast has a lot of issues as far as I can tell: it’s very sensitive to voltage. I found if the voltage is over 250v, it’ll trip. This is something we can’t control as it’s up to the electricity board to regulate the supply. I was assuming the voltage would be regulated by the charger - but nah, it won’t! And the wiring shoud be 10sqmm it seems. Else, it trips!

Sometimes, you may need to go into your car EV settings to reduce your Amperage (I had to lower it down to 16A or even 10A as charging at homes will have issue delivering this amperage I think).

Also, the gun is a plastic material that’s flimsy and doesn’t really last long if not taken care. Mine is broken and I need to buy a new one :(

Second drive after six months: Impressive range of 420km for a 60kw battery!

It’s just over six months I took the car for a second drive. Whole heartedly I can say I didn’t need to stop for charging or slow down to be in 80kmph. I was almost hitting 120kmph for an hour or so plus AC2 with ventilated seats on!

I started in Hyderabad just around midnight to travel to hometown - 321km away.

The range is just over 420km - which I think was pretty good and as it was marketed I guess. I am impressed - ride was smooth, speedy, comfy and easy.

PS: The 100pct battery usually used to show 463km as range but since a month or so, it’s dropped to 457km. Not sure if the battery is already draining but something I will keep an eye!

VinFast delivering 24k+ EVs in April alone in Vietnam feels like an underrated story from an India perspective

What stood out to me is that the growth isn’t being driven by one premium “halo” product. Models like VF 3 and Limo Green seem to be seeing actual mass demand.

That probably says more about EV adoption maturity than flashy flagship launches do.

Feels like Southeast Asian markets are slowly proving that practical EVs can scale when buyers start prioritizing ownership cost and day-to-day usability.

Could actually become relevant for India sooner than expected.
