Tailgating at a sporting event or concert is one of the most fun things a group of friends and like-minded individuals can do. Traditionally, tailgating is done with at least one pickup truck and a cooler full of beverages. There’s food on the grill and a beach ball swirling around. Now, though, with electric vehicles like the VinFast VF8 and VF9, those who enjoy pre-gaming their favorite event can now do so—without a tailgate. EVs can power most accessories without affecting the car’s battery or using any gas.
Camp Mode for Tailgating
One of the features of the VF8 and VF9 is Camp Mode, which allows you to operate the sound system, LED lighting, Sony RIDEVU, and all of your charge ports. It also allows you to use the heater and air conditioning to keep the interior of the vehicle comfy. No matter if you’re at a professional sporting event or your kids’ weekend sports games, a VinFast will have plenty of room for all your tailgating supplies, plus the ability to haul five people.
Portable Coolers and Food Containers
Whether you are into the Cowboys, Rangers, Mavericks, Stars, or FC Dallas, tailgating in your VinFast couldn’t be easier. By picking up a portable 12v cooler/refrigerator like an ICECO or a Dometic, you can be sure that your special beverages will stay cold the entire time you’re hanging out waiting for the game to start. And if you like meats, cheeses, and crackers, $25-$30 will get you a nice on-the-go charcuterie board with a lid.
You’re Going to Need a Grill
Weber and Blackstone make two of the most popular travel and tailgate grills with tons of accessories. These travel nicely, taking up little space in the rear cargo area of your VinFast. The question is, do you want a grill or a griddle for game day? A griddle will allow you to cook breakfast all day, while still having a great surface for steaks, chicken, or even making Philly cheesesteaks. However, hot dogs and burgers with the classic grill marks just taste better for some reason, right? Also, are you into charcoal or are you a Hank Hill (he sells propane and propane accessories)?
VF8 and VF9 Cargo Space
The beauty of having a VinFast isn’t just the 13.2 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seats of the VF8 or the 32.7 cubic feet in the VF9 when the third row is folded. No, it’s the extra 2.7 cubic feet of frunk space in the VF8 and 3.5 cubic feet in the VF9. And don’t forget, both vehicles also allow you to tow up to 4,000 pounds if you want to bring a camper with you, and they make accessories where you can hook a grill up to the tow hitch.
The Best Warranty Around
While tailgating in an EV is certainly a fun experience, there is nothing that gets customers more excited than the ten-year, 125,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty and the ten-year, unlimited-mile battery warranty for all VinFast vehicles. There is no greater peace of mind.
