- 77.667 billion dong (about $3 million)
- September 11, 2026
- Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
What Happened
A new filing shows that Tesla has created a legal entity in Ho Chi Minh City. It dates from September 11 and lists VND77.667 billion in registered capital, equivalent to about $3 million at the exchange rate cited in the report.
The entity may deal in vehicles and components at wholesale or retail, and it is also licensed for related import, export and distribution work. The filing names David Jon Feinstein as chairman, Isabel Ching Fan as general director and Nguyen Manh Hung as her assistant.
The registration establishes a legal route for Tesla to conduct vehicle-related business in Vietnam. It does not, by itself, confirm when sales will begin, whether Tesla will build cars locally or which models it would offer.
Why this matters
The registration gives Tesla a formal local entity in Vietnam rather than relying only on cross-border operations. Its stated wholesale, retail and distribution scope leaves room for a direct commercial presence, although the filing does not announce a launch date or local production plan.
