Do we have a Rivian Wave?

[RivianRachel]

Here in Upstate NY I might see 1 or 2 other Rivians in a week. I find myself waving excitedly like Forest Gump. What’s your wave?

When I see another Rivian in time, I flash my high beam headlights.

Flash the brights. Jeep wave (practiced by my wife when she is driving her Wrangler) tends to get less response.

That's what I do, but like a little kid tapping a bell???

Flash my hazards, wave frantically, give the peace sign ..... Some from the Central Oregon group just suggested getting some of these -

You have to form the Rivian logo to every Rivian driver you see

Hmmm, without Driver+ on that could be a short wave......

Hancock, NY here. I’m usually too late with my wave. lol

I usually am so excited I wind up pointing like a doofus.

This is my submission. It does take some practice. You might only notice it as my truck is crashing into a ditch or a building or your vehicle.

Gun fingers, and I make “pew pew“ sounds, while holding the steering wheel.

It probably looks like I’m pointing at the roof like there’s something wrong with their truck while simultaneously blowing them a kiss.

Gun fingers and pew pew sounds are highly encouraged

Legitimate, even if bad, ideas IF this community feels compelled to have a special wave.

Option 1: Three middle fingers spread to make a “W” with a wavelength motion (like what your arm does when you stick it out the window). This is a nod to American sign language for moving water. (Was playing off Indian River as name origin for Rivian… but river requires two hands in ASL).

Option 2: Sideways middle 3 fingers extended like a E. E for electric and to signify the first three vehicles developed at the same time, R1T, R1S, and EDV. Yes I know this is not how you do an E in ASL.


I personally like option 2 best.

My neighbor is probably sick of me. Has had a T for a few months. I'm waiting on my S. I stop by and chat whenever I see him outside.

I flash the beams if they are oncoming, pump the brakes (or let off the accelerator in one pedal mode) a few times if I see them behind me. If I see one at an intersection while we are waiting for the light, I give “the nod” or a casual one handed “Yo” wave.
