In anticipation of Halloween, Rivian teased a Knight Rider-inspired lighting mode for its EVs.

As Rivian continues its commitment to improving the ownership experience for its flagship R1T pickup and R1S SUV models, the American electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer has recently rolled out its latest software update, version 2024.35.
