I appreciated and enjoyed the Halloween mode, not as fun as 2024 but still neat. It did make me think about upgrading to a Gen 2 before next year though....

I have a Gen 2, and I set it to turn on with motion. It was very fun watching all the trick-or-treaters jump when the truck would growl at them as they arrived at my front door. Very well done, and we got a lot of compliments from the parents.

Yeah, KITT was amazing! Like others, I'd pay money to have it available to me again

Gen2 definitely got a better halloween update since the exterior motion activated sound effects was a new thing we did not have in previous years. Gen1 got no love. Frog sound disappeared today, sadness.

I am grateful they kept the owl from prior years as an option, permanently.

I liked it, but I really wish it had been possible just to turn on the motion alert growl, piano, etc, but not have to leave the screens running.

Agreed, but I had it running for 4-5 hours and didn't even drop a percent of battery, so it wasn't a huge deal.

Less puerile nonsense, more features & bug fixes.

There. I’ve said it. 😤

Features like this are just as beneficial to your software team as they are to your customers. Giving your team a small break to have some fun with their jobs will improve output for the rest of the year. Not to mention improving morale on that team and reducing employee turnover. In short, things like this generate revenue for Rivian through the benefits they create.

Perhaps, but when I was a software engineer, we got satisfaction from fixing hard to squash bugs and implementing features our customers wanted vs filigree.

But that was back when software had to work out of the box. We did t have do-overs via Jenkins.

I love how everyone on the forums is a software expert.

This is fun. Please don’t make it go away.
