I wave at the Gear Guard cameras if I see a fellow Rivian in the parking lot I’m at. Little surprise for them later when they check the cams.?
I give 'em a full moon.

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.
Rather than pump the brakes, I like to just lightly press the hazard button a few times.

I saw a nice R1S yesterday. They were traveling south on Hwy 101, near Siletz Bay, as we were returning to Lincoln City from Newport.

I did the Forest Gump wave and it cracked them up. It was nice to see another Rivian owner with a sense of humor.

There has been a sharp increase in the amount of Rivians we see ever since the RAN at Lincoln City Outlets went live a few months ago. Great to see so many folks being Adventurous.

Way too many Rivian in the Bay Area/Northern California to wave.

Way too snobby Rivian owners in the Bay Area/Northern California to wave. :rolleyes:

There, I fixed it for you.

With all these new rivian's on the road in LA no one waves. I saw 4 in the valley in a 10 minute span and no one waved or flashed their lights! A S did flash his lights back at me last week and his face looked as excited as my kids faces when they see another Rivian. (Okay, mine too)

Admittedly it's usually older folks who seem to not even see me. It's wld-- I can't not see a Rivian when I'm driving it makes me worry how well these people are paying attention to their surroundings.

My Rivian sightings have dried up since finally getting mine. While I was waiting I saw several a week. Someone drive past me this week so I can try out my wave!

I'm all about the hang loose sign, though since I tinted the front windows it's less likely people will see me. Sometimes I just wave empathically though with a big grin on my face.
