Is there going to be a Rivian wave that we fellow Rivian's flash to each other? I'm joking, only half serious, I currently have a Jeep Wrangler and I'm actually looking forward to not waving at every other vehicle that comes the other way. :) It's exhausting!

As a Wrangler owner, I find the wave annoying, and posts about "why don't people wave?" annoying. Especially with how common Wranglers are.

I sure hope not.
I agree but I have to say I will probably be so excited if I see another Rivian going the other way I will surely wave the first few times! :)

That's funny. I have a "special wave" for exactly two Wrangler owners in my neighborhood. Who'd have thought in this day and age that mufflers would be optional?

God I hope not. People were asking the same thing with the new bronco. Only way I'm waving to someone while in my bronco is if I know that person. If not keep your stupid ass wave to yourself ?

We need an SOP for this. If R11 (the first R1) waves and R12 (the second R1) does not wave back, R11 is legally permitted to reduce the hand wave to a finger wave (you know which one).

Wave memories are usually good conversation piece. After a Europe trip, the wife got a scooter bug so we got her a 50cc. We found ourselves riding that more often than my big bike. Getting the wave from big ass Harleys on the road when we can barely brake 30 is a hoot. I am voting yes to the wave.

The wave is a good thing, and I look forward to the Rivian Wave or, probably more correctly, the headlamp flash. I am a long time Airstreamer. We always flash each other. It's a good thing. I was, at one time in my life, a professional motorcycle rider. Motorcycle riders always acknowledge each other with a flash or a wave.

People say Canadians are friendly, but if one waves at you while wearing mittens, this is what’s happening.

I think it should just be us reaching to adjust our phone mounts on the windshield when we see a fellow Riviot since we don’t have AA or CarPlay. ?. That’s our “wave”
