===== 📝 My assessment & recommendation =====

If I were advising you:
* If you’re strongly considering the VF7, it would be wise to: 1. Confirm which production batch you’re getting (early vs later). 2. Check that the software has been updated to the latest version (e.g., infotainment/ADAS bugs addressed). 3. Ask about specific issue logs for your unit (e.g., any resolved recalls or software patches). 4. Consider the local service/repair/distribution capability (since a young brand may have less extensive support network).
* If you want “lowest risk” and are comparing with competitor EVs from more established brands, VF7 is probably a higher-risk proposition. The “industry standard” for reliability & electronics integration tends to lean toward brands with longer EV/automotive heritage.

If you like, I can pull together a table comparing reported issue rates (software faults, ADAS faults, structural faults) for VF7 vs top EV rivals (e.g., Hyundai Ioniq 5 / Tesla Model Y / Kia EV6) using available data and sources — would that be useful?
