Entering VinFast's home market on US$3M: Tesla registers a Vietnam sales arm
Tesla Motors Vietnam LLC filed on 12 September in Ho Chi Minh City with US$3.0 million (VND77.7 billion) in charter capital, licensed to sell vehicles and parts. VinFast sold 20,161 of Vietnam's 48,484 cars in August.
Positive-sum angle: Vietnamese charging installers and parts importers have a second EV brand to pitch, and the pitch window closes once Tesla picks its showroom partners.
