Rivian vehicles are known for giving drivers the ability to take the party on the road, whether by storing a travel kitchen onboard or using their sophisticated software systems to spice things up.
With Halloween just around the corner, the Plymouth, Michigan-based automaker is pulling out some tidbits from its bag of tricks: Rivian owners are getting a number of options to transform their vehicles into traditional spooky or full-on sci-fi entertainment centers.
A software update available on the Rivian mobile app until November 4th features car costumes that take over the vehicle's screen, lights and sound systems in the park, transforming it into three different cars.
Nostalgic fans of the Knight Rider TV series will rejoice at the opportunity to transform their Rivians into the famous KITT crime-fighting car. After selecting the option in the app, the vehicle's interior display system displays KITT's diagnosis on the screen while the show's original intro music plays.
Here's a special treat for Rivian Gen 2 owners: the exterior light bar will emit KITT's iconic bright red light while playing the scanner sound effect.
No less nostalgic fans of the “Back to the Future” films will also get their money’s worth and can transform their vehicle into the DeLorean time machine. With this option, the screen transforms into the classic time travel interface while the audio system plays the film's music and acceleration sound effects.
Once again, Rivian Gen 2 owners are in for a special treat. Pressing the 88mph button activates the front and rear light and sound effects to blast you through the sound barrier.
For a more traditional spooky experience, you can opt for the Haunted Rivian Car Costume, which features eight different sound effects and three different color themes. Static and ghosting will dominate your interior design.
Rivian Gen 1 owners will receive a green animation on the outside of the vehicle. Gen 2 owners can convert the exterior light bar to the color option they find scariest.
