STOP! Wait, I have the MOST IMPORTANT QUESTION EVER!!! (Poll added)

[Tzadik_nistar]

When I drive my 1975 Land Cruiser I sometimes get the thumbs up or a honk and I always smile back or answer a question at a light if they have it.

Only a few people have done that with the Rivian and it was mostly back in July when I first got it and it was more rare.

Personally I don't want to wave at anyone else on the road, but it's also not big deal to wave back and acknowledge someone's interest in your car if they are just celebrating the fun of driving these things.

The Land Cruiser wave is “look there’s the CEO of ______ public company”

Prithee...Why? I have a Tesla model 3, 2020, with a reservation for a Rivian R1T. Why the rancor and hate?

I have to call BS on this whole Poll... it's invalid cause we all know Tesla owners never wave at anyone!

Not true!!

I'm sick of looking at boring Teslas

I was parked at a Walgreens recently waiting for my wife and a guy in a Model 3 slowly drove by, giving me the side eye. I'll admit I thought he was going to do something ass-inine but instead gave me a thumbs up and said "nice truck" out the window. I guess Tesla drivers are all right.

Probably a rental…I kid, I kid

All those waving Tesla owners wish they had a Rivian instead:
I bought a Tesla to help the environment. Now, I’m embarrassed to drive it

So what's the protocol for a Rivian:Rivian encounter?? I have an R1S and sped up ever-so-slightly to catch up to an R1T and tried to give a wave but nothing! Pretty sure they saw me, and I have to admit I was kind of bummed when there was no apparent acknowledgment of a "like-minded traveler"... We have an OG Jeep Wrangler as well, so I guess that's the culture I'm more used to and would love to see out of our Rivian community! So... what's our Rivian "Jeep wave"?????

What do you do when a Tesla waves at you?!?

I was caught unaware. A white Model Y drove by and the owner had a huge smile on his face and waved at/to me. I was taken aback. I meekly waved back with a quizzical look on my face.

Now I know Jeep people have their thing. And I often waved at other bolts. And there was always a point and nod when passing another motorcycle.

But we AREN'T the same breed. Do I now wave at every EV going by? Where does it end?

I need info. I need facts. I need limits and structure. Guidelines. I didn't think I needed Driver +, but I might if I'm waving to everybody going down the road.

Pull over and see what it is my wife wants while simultaneously looking around to make sure I didn’t forget something…like a kid.

The official Rivian wave is finger guns and an optional pew pew sound
