Tesla Begins Hiring in Vietnam, Aiming to Challenge VinFast’s Dominance

Tesla has officially announced its entry into Vietnam, starting a recruitment drive that includes roles for a sales manager, a service manager, and a charging project developer. The move comes as VinFast dominates the local electric‑vehicle market, capturing about 36 % of all new car sales this year—more than the combined share of the next five competitors. Tesla’s hiring signals the company’s intent to establish a presence in a market that is both lucrative and fiercely competitive. By building a local workforce, Tesla plans to develop sales, service, and charging infrastructure, positioning itself to compete directly with VinFast’s extensive network.
