WAVE, OR DIE

[UnsungZero_OldTimeAdMan]

I wave at the Rivian Amazon van drivers. They are more friendly

From what I hear, with a job like that you have to maintain a cheerful outlook... otherwise you wouldn't last long.

I swear, if I get snubbed by one more CLEARLY new Rivian owner just cruising mindlessly down the road and ignoring my finger point/turn signal wink... I'm going to revolt!

I just bought my new-to-me R1T a couple weeks ago and I shamelessly wave and flash at all the other Rivian owners! I got snubbed tonight by an R1S. :-(

Yes I find less and less waving from other Rivian drivers, as the vehicles are now purchased more frequently by non enthusiasts.

I don't wave back. That is a jeep wrangler thing. We are not jeep wrangler

I just don't see why we need to develop our own greeting when we see another person driving a rivian. Jeeps do the wave and motorcycles do the low five wave. If all vehicle owners had a thing, we would all be throwing gang signs every day.

Whenever I see a rivian my reaction is to be like oh hey a rivian and just continue driving. Even when I owned my multiple wranglers, I would barely ever wave. I do not know you and honestly don't care about you. Just my opinion, so don't count on me to follow whatever crazy acknowledgment you all come up with here

Here in RI, now that the weather is warm again, I am seeing more Rivians on the road. I went all winter without one sighting! I guess most folks keep them in storage for the winter or something? RARELY does anyone in another Rivian acknowledge when I [wave, flash the lights, etc.]. Kinda giving up on it.

I'll continue finger pointing

Rivians are still quite a rarity in my area. So for that reason alone, when you see one, we definitely all wave. (few exceptions, but mostly people just.. in the zone).

Yesterday on my drive home, I saw a white R1S coming down an onramp onto the highway. It was a nice day, so since I had the windows down I threw a peace sign out the window.

That lady literally chased me down through traffic to wave at me (YAY!), just to get off the next exit.

That's the kind of enthusiasm I'm here for!

I do typically throw shakkas, though!

Good god….THIS is your life’s concern? Pls say you‘re just having a slow day?

This is how it was as an early Tesla adopter. Very friendly and lots of acknowledgment for a couple of years, then rarely. Still very few RIVs here in northern VA so the wave/blink gets responses. Also lots of folks who wave me down in a parking lot and say “who makes that car?” (as I stand next to the giant RIVIAN lettering…). Then, “is it from China?”

I see half a dozen Rivians a day; that's too much waving.

Didn't wave at the first one, so maybe one is too many : )
