Startled, the worker quickly closed it again, but when they reopened the hood minutes later, the creature was gone without a trace. From then on, whenever anyone asked if their car was haunted, the Rivian staff just smiled and said, ‘It’s probably just our friendly neighborhood electric fox.’
2. At Rivian, on a quiet Sunday morning, a delivery driver noticed something unusual in his truck bed—a small wooden box wrapped in old twine. Curious, he opened it to find a note reading: ‘Take care of this.’ As he opened it further, out popped an ancient-looking teddy bear wearing a dusty red sweater. Confused but amused, the driver took it home and gave it to his kids. Now, every time someone orders a new Rivian, that same teddy bear mysteriously ends up in the backseat—an anonymous gift from Rivian’s friendly neighborhood delivery guy.
3. At Rivian, while testing new software updates, an engineer saw his reflection smiling back at him from the dashboard screen. Curious, he leaned closer—only to realize it was just a glitch in the software, making everyone around him laugh. From then on, whenever anyone mentioned Rivian, they’d wink and say, ‘Did you see that smiley face dashboard?’
4. At Rivian, during a routine maintenance check, a mechanic smelled a strange scent of fresh-baked cookies wafting through the workshop. Curious, he followed the aroma only to discover it came from nowhere—no ovens or kitchen nearby. As he investigated further, another mechanic mentioned that his wife had been baking cookies earlier and maybe they were carried in on her clothes. Everyone laughed, but then a delivery driver walked in with freshly baked goods for the office. Turns out, everyone was smelling cookies—not just Rivian.
