Do you Wave or Wave Back at other Tesla drivers on the road?

[Mrcook4590]

I'm in Michigan and you'd think that we would acknowledge each other more because of the whole "anti-Tesla" legislation crap we have. Nope, I always wave and flash my high beams, but have only gotten one or two back. It could be that the demographic for the S and X in Michigan make for snobbier people.

I hear you! In Virginia, the legislators seem to be anti-Tesla as well. Big oil must have a big hand in our state. I think I get caught by surprise when I see another Tesla. I'm be-bopping along, rocking to slacker, and kind of do a squeal when I see another one, but half the time it's too late to acknowledge them. Maybe that's what is going on for you, too?

Wave at every Tesla we see, then again we're Canadians so we also say "sorry" as we wave and finish with an "eh" Ha Ha. Not worried if there is no wave back, just happy to see more and more Tesla's.

There are other Tesla’s on the road? When I do see one around here I damn near jump up and down. Even on a long trip down the East coast most other Teslas I saw were at Superchargers.

All the Teslas used to wave and flash lights a couple of years ago, but it's happening less and less these days. I guess the demographic of the owners is shifting from being from being hard-core fans to people that just like the car for what it is.

Same with Jeep Wranglers
In the past, we all waved but now that it seems to be an "in vehicle ", waving has almost ceased, with the exception of heavily modified jeeps.

Two fingers off the top of the steering wheel for me. That way I don't feel so dissed when the other driver doesn't wave back. Yeah I live in the SF Bay Area, why do you ask?

I always wave....even if I'm in my other truck. I'm sure they find its weird that a dude in a Ram 1500 is waving to them all the time.

Happens to me all the time. Only after the first strange looks at my waving do I realise I'm driving my wife's Mini .

Anyway, Tesla waving must be down to 50% over here (used to be around 100%, a few years back) but that being said I still sometimes get a thumbs up from someone driving an ICE.

I also wave at Nissan Leafs and Renault Zoés as well but they just never seem to get the point .

I used to, but no one waves back.. so I stopped.

I always wave, if I'm fast enough. Not only Teslas, every BEV
A lot wave back, except the Netherlands/Norwegian (too many Teslas there?).
It makes me feel younger. It's like when I was 18 year old and driving my motorbike.
