Does anyone wave anymore?

I get the kids to wave. That way I have plausable deniability
It's always useful to have some extra help to spot the Teslas ... the driver is allowed more road focus so my wife and I swap Tesla monitoring duties depending on who's driving!
In the Bay area this would requite one to hold their hand up for the entire drive. Chances are if you let go of the wheel you may hit a parked Tesla.
Mrs text me today saying someone waved
To be fair, I dont wave at any when I drive it. I Just dont think its in the same enthusiast league as glamoured VW t5's, Scooby's (I used to wave at them) and motorbikes (still do) Ive had the odd wave on the golf R and waved back... I suppose you've got to into the "scene" kind of thing and to be fair to my Mrs she's not ever been into the "scene" for anything and I personally dont think quite ticks that box or will anytime soon with increasing numbers/being common which doesn't bother me at all.

Saw three Model 3s on a trip from Derbyshire to Norfolk and back yesterday. Waved to them all - no response from any of them.

Glad to see people waving still. Still experiencing issues with s and x Drivers but the hurt is starting to get less and less.
I did experience my favourite wave on my way up to Scotland a couple of weeks ago, white M3 in lane 1 on the m74/m6 travelling north (me) and a white m3 in lane 1 on the same road travelling south, 4 lanes of empty roads and a central reservation didn’t stop us bonding, both waving frantically, forwards and then through the side window as we past each other. It was magical. I wonder whether that person is on here(22nd or Probably 23rd August...)

Make sure you tell him to keep persevering, you can make it good fun when they wave back!
There should be a Tesla waiver windshield sticker, so owners knows who to waive to. Not only for waiving, but also if one happens to be parked, chat friendly also.
Tesla Motor Club, make it happen!

I get my model 3 next week. I'm waving already from my diesel Honda Accord!

I (still) drive an older ICE car*, and always smile internally when I spot a Tesla - sometimes I follow it for a while just for kicks.
Question: is there a code easy enough to do and for the Tesla driver to notice for giving them a thumbs up? And if not, what do you suggest?
Sometimes I want to just flash my high beams, but this could be misinterpreted..
(*) In my defense, this is a 2008 Mercedes CLK350, the very same year Mercedes saved Elon's fledgling Tesla by procuring EV engines for their B-car series AND investing $50M in Tesla.

I've just driven 180 miles, seen probably about a dozen Teslas and not a single wave returned.
It was the same on Monday morning. Probably saw approaching 20 and no waves back.

Got my first wave today. A gorgeous blue Model S waved at me in N4 London. Waved back slightly late as I was taken aback by how good it looked in the sun.
