As a Wrangler owner, I find the wave annoying, and posts about "why don't people wave?" annoying. Especially with how common Wranglers are.
Agree 100%. Gladiator owners do it also... there are too many here in Denver.

Proposing the one handed ASL word for "Soon" as the official Rivian wave

SOON (variation)
Use an "F" hand and a double movement. Tap your chin twice.
Note: If you use a single, strong, motion and puff out the cheeks a bit this sign can mean "EXPERT."
Note: Some people tap the nose twice (instead of the chin).
Note: Some people use somewhat of a downward glancing movement when doing this sign.

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.

A few people tried this with Teslas back when they were still fairly new. Didn't really work out. I think it might be too late to start a new vehicle wave in any vehicle in which it doesn't already exist.

trying too hard. Just use ASL for letter R. If no response, drop your index finger…..

I never initiate a wave in the Jeep, but always return one.

I like to do the Spock Star Trek greeting in the Volvo but no one returns it. Usually just get confusion or laughs.

I got what I can only describe as a sideways peace sign from an ID4 driver yesterday.

At least it wasn't back of the hand up peace sign...

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! :)
AND THATS HOW IT STARTS!!!🤣

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!
Yeah, we should all just get airhorns.

We need to figure this out, guys.

I passed my first other Rivian in the wild today! I didn't know that to do with my hands. He seemed equally confused, but also pulling in to Boeing, so could just be anti social...

Being originally from the UK and moving to the USA I always cringe when I see an American give the 2 finger salute lol.
