Is there a Rivian wave/signal thing when we see each other on the road?

So, I just took delivery of my R1S on Tuesday in Sacramento and drove to Portland on Wednesday to visit my brother. My family and I were there for a few days and drove bock. I saw a handful of other Rivian drivers while we were on the journey and it occurred to me that we don't have a communicative wave or gesture that I am aware of. At least, I don't think so?

So my question is kind of in two parts:
  1. Do we have anything out there that is already being done? I don't want to reinvent the wave - if we got something, I'm all in.
  2. If not - can we run a poll or something? I'm good with a peace sign, or really anything - just think we should have a consistent shared element.
If I'm the only one, I'll just keep my hands to myself, but when I rode motorcycles, it was always cool to pass someone and have the two-fingers down low acknowledgement.

First weekend I had mine and got high beamed blinked at. Was intriguing but not sure if that should be a normal thing. It was a small 1 lane on each side road.

I don't usually get it in return, but there is nothing better than a little bit of metal horns.

So cal has so many now that the thrill is gone. Fj40 owners always always waived to each other.

I try not to wave, I like both hands on the wheel. Wasn't that a jeep Gatorade thing didn't last long. Think of it like this you got a Rivian not many do therefore you are.
