Alexa Thanking People.

[Jakeblanton]

Just had to share this because I found it corny and awesome!!!

I was one of the first to get an R1T in my town (Aug 22). I run a pretty successful business that sees about 400 cars through it a day. I was stopped at least 6 times a day the first month and it started trending down to about 3 a week now. It was not my intent to be a Brand Ambassador but I have been. And I have enjoyed sharing about it while dispelling myths about EVs and living with them daily and on trips. I cant count how many times someone has really liked it and said so while sitting in it checking out the screen flows and options... Today got me....lol I has going through a drive thru for breakfast and a young lady said " I really like your trunk." I said as normal "Thanks". All the sudden Alexa comes to life and said, " Thank you, that really gives me a charge" or something very similar... I shocked me and I had a moment of chuckles as it never stops amazing me with a new " Feature" every now and again...

I don't care how corny it is. That's hilarious.

@Jakeblanton, now if your %charge actually went up... that would be a cool trick.
I live in the middle of NY state and was lucky enough to get mine last May and same thing, tons of curious interest. Can't count how many times I've heard "You should be selling these things".

Always listening... Actually probably something that was said that sounded enough like Alexa that it activated her.

With this quip from Alexa, I wonder if other Rivian/EV humor is built into it? If you ask Siri stupid questions like “Who’s your daddy?” or “Are you human?” You get a series of different responses.

Would that be Rivian Cheer? Kind of like Santa’s sleigh running on Christmas Cheer?

I live in the Bay Area where there's probably more Rivian's than most locations yet I love the interest from strangers and I really enjoy showing them around the truck and answering their questions. There's so much interest.

Always make sure to thank Alexa, Siri, etc. You never know when they'll become self-aware, and you definitely want to be their friend if they do.

This is why I keep all the voice assistants off. I mean this is a cute little thing, but I would honestly be creeped out being reminded that the thing is always listening to me.

I have tried the rest of the day while driving to activate it again... no luck, but I still get tickled thinking about. I bet all you did as well reading that I was speaking to myself while driving all day...lol
