Does anyone wave anymore?

Living in France, the idea of waving because of some brother or sisterhood is an alien concept left to Moto riders. Maybe, just maybe, a slight lift of the head en passant . At the superchargeur, studious avoidance of glances.....unless of course it's lunchtime at which point on the picnique benches, everyone is family as they share wine, baguette sandwiches, cheese and coffee and stories of near death by FSD.

Went to the Lakes last weekend, saw a white M3 near Shap and got a wave back. Got waves leaving the SC at Tebay. Got a flash from an M3 near home a couple of days ago, but that was my neighbour!! 
(just to emphasise, it was the M3 flashing and not the neighbour)

We can make this a thing.... but at the rate that M3's are increasing on the UK's roads we will have no time to concentrate on driving as we will all be too busy waving like loons, so we'll all need FSD

Regularly give a wave to the other white model 3 near me in the Bedford area and always puts a smile on my face.

It's not like in the old days. I had a Mazda Rotary RX-4. The early days, the original carbon seals had issues and the engine would need to be rebuilt when the seals blew out. By 1974, the seals got replaced by Teflon seals which worked much better. The early days however, when you passed another rotary, you held up your fingers to signal how many engines you had rebuilt. Maybe with EVs, this is no longer a thing? BTW, I do wave at other Teslas.

I think I'll join the waving club when my M3 arrives. I used to have a smart roadster and fellow owners ALWAYS waved and I waved back*
Not sure if I'll get much response, being a fellow London-dweller but I'l try. Also I might keep it to the 3 only. Waving at X drivers would be tiresome round here as there at least 4 billion of them. OK, by "4000000000000" I mean "5" but that still seems a lot for such a pricey car!
*This happened twice in the 3 years I owned it, it wasn't a very common car!

Oh great...now we are creating more guilt for us! It's bad enough that we are in our smug EVs laughing at the gas guzzlers (especially in a traffic jam or as we accelerate away from a stop light). Now we have to feel guilty for not waving. Wow, the delimmas of EV owners. Do we have to wave at other EVs (e-tron, id.4, polestars 2, Rivian, etc...) or would that seem to be more like snickering to them? I didn't realize how complicated owning this EV was going to be. Who decides on the rules?
Great idea, not to wave, but hold up the number of fingers to represent how many times you have visited the service center!It's not like in the old days. I had a Mazda Rotary RX-4.

Exchanged waves with the driver of a white Model S this morning, just round the corner from home.

As lockdown restrictions ease I'm driving a bit more so have more opportunities to wave, but I haven't seen many Teslas until today. Here is an exchange of waves with a Model S earlier this afternoon:
This was in Shropshire on the B5062 near to where it crosses the A442 at Crudgington. The image is a still from a GoPro I occasionally use to record FSD visualisations, AutoPilot aborts etc. Later I followed a white M3P into Newport Waitrose car park, and then a white M3SR+ on the A442 through Telford. Anyone on here?
