How about E, since it was supposed to be a Model E...
I like your thinking and the idea, but any hand symbol runs the danger of being misunderstood by other drivers and could potentially distract people

I tend to do this but with 3 fingers:

On the freeway/highway, I'll sometimes do a normal wave if I don't need to switch lanes in the near future.
Given the prevalence of 3 these days, I'm pleasantly surprised by how often I do get a response.
So good to hear brianman - good man!

You didn't Google Jeep wave yet ... that's the Jeep wave, we can't steal that.
I did so[!], and brianman did write the he uses THREE fingers instead of TWO as shown in the picture and as used by the Jeep drivers.

Ah, missed that. I just tried it ... I can't do it. the pinky wants to come along for the ride. Can't do 3.
New here... First post. Picked up my 3 in Nashville yesterday and drove back to Knoxville... saw another 3 coming up behind me and wondered if there was a wave. Sure enough, I got something like a biker peace sign wave .

I have a condition called "trigger finger", and I too would struggle with some of the suggested hand signals.
That is why I thought a discreet wet-wiper-wave is less prone to misinterpretation...

I tried waving but get ignored. I think the cars are so popular here in Southern California that waving is pointless. Maybe it's different in Omaha.

It must be nice to live somewhere where seeing Model 3's is less frequent than the actual need to use wipers (it rains a lot here, I can't wave with my wipers half the time if we have to rely on wipers that are already constantly "waving"
)

Very back of window, ok ... still need evidence if it backsprays onto trailing vehicles or not
Try it under 100 MPH!
I noticed that when I stuck my head out of the window going 100 and tears streaked to the back of my ears.

LOL. I'll have to research that!When I was a young lad, that meant something entirely different to us.
I know a fist with your thumb up your arse means something else entirely...
I couldn’t believe how many Teslas were in Tigard when I was there a couple weeks ago. The area was even more saturated than Bellevue, WA. I think the supercharger probably has something to do with that though.

I was thinking along those lines later myself. We need to re-appropriate it. I can hear the conversation:
WS1: Flashes "White Supremacy" sign
WS2: "Dude, did you get a Tesla?!?"
As to the 1.5%... it's my fault, I'm sure. In my life, I've driven Saabs, Volvos, & many others, and found my fellow aficionados to be a real weird bunch. I'm causing it, I think.
Oddly, the only one that didn't elicit this was the 1967 GMC Handi-Van which I lived out of for a while...
As a lifelong Jeep owner. Motorcycle Rider, and now Tesla owner, I'm used to people waving at me on the road and my instinctive reaction now is to wave back regardless of what I'm driving.
