Rivian Gates Its Customers for Halloween

As is now tradition, the American manufacturer Rivian is giving a gift to its customers for Halloween.

Rivian has developed the excellent habit of celebrating Halloween with its community by offering Easter Eggs in its updates as treats. The term Easter Egg is now used far beyond the religious holiday to refer to a hidden gift, often in a digital environment.

So when everyone is dressing up, why shouldn’t Rivian’s digital screens do the same? Brands are often criticized for being too conservative in the customization options for screens, which have become the norm in vehicles, so a bit of whimsy reminds us that we can still have fun!

Lucky Rivian owners can thus transform their stylish electric vehicles into KITT from Knight Rider or the Time Machine from Back to the Future! By activating a chosen mode, the lighting, ambient glow, and of course the displays immerse passengers in the atmosphere of the series or the trilogy. You are then instantly transported into these worlds that shaped our childhood. The rendering of the gauges from Marty McFly’s DeLorean on the central screen is simply exceptional!

In KITT’s case, the front light bar of the cars even replicates the signature red blinking of Michael Knight’s car! For Back to the Future, a little press on an 88 mph icon activates the lighting and sound effects themed around Back to the Future at the front and back. Great Scott!!!

These options will only be available until November 4 to keep them special, but it’s high time that other manufacturers bring as much whimsy as Rivian, because apart from Tesla’s fart cushion, fun is currently rather… ghostly.
