Hi all,
This post is targeted at the OG's out there. I recall when I first got my Model S 4 years ago, whenever I drove by another Tesla I would be greeted with an enthusiastic wave and smile from the other driver. The so called "Tesla nod".
Over the years as the number of Tesla's has increased I have found this occurrence to be less and less, but I do still try to salute the vast number of Model 3 drivers I pass.
Fast forward to a couple of days ago, and I spot a Model S approaching in oncoming traffic. As it approachs I see it is an older Model S with a nose cone like mine. Then I see the driver, who offers the same familiar smile and wave I had feared was lost. Sad - but it made my drive home.
Yesterday it happened again. Different car and driver, but Nose-cone and a warm greeting.
Not sure reasoning if it is original Tesla owners remembering the old days or a kin-ship amongst the "Nose-cone Model S" owners. Regardless I'm dubbing this the "Nose-cone Wave" or "Nose-cone Nod" !!
Extreme apologies if this has been discussed elsewhere - happy to relinquish the honours if someone posted before.
