It would be cheaper to go to a junkyard if an entrant to the next demo derby is what you're after. Otherwise, I cannot see a purpose for buying a vehicle that would do nothing but annoy me. If you're looking to waste money, you can buy my Harley, which I'll sell once the weather warms up.

I think the Count's advisors should step in and remind him how truly terrible the Vinfast cars are. If necessary they should have him involuntarily committed.

Used EV prices are insane right now. Of course Vinfast sucks. But how about a $150k vehicle going for $60k right now with under 5k miles? Just look at the fairly new BMW i7 xDrive60 and i7 M70. Those are the real steal.

The Count has every right to light his treasury funds on fire, but this court advisor argues that it should at least be on something slightly interesting.

The Count could find a Mustang Mach E GT with the performance package for just about that price.

I thought your only criteria considered for purchase was the vehicles ability to mount a snow plow?

Dubbed by many professional auto journalists and bloggers as the worst ever? Good luck.
Honestly, sounds more like it depends on what someone wants one for. It charges like absolute garbage on a road trip, but around town they're fine. Out of Spec (Francie) had/has one. There are redeeming values like the ADAS not being terrible. Francie seems to like it, but the rest of their staff doesn't care for it. For anyone wanting an around town EV and actually wants some space to haul people or dogs, the VF8 might not be a bad option at those prices.
