I had a Mini cooper S when they first came out. We waved until 200,000 or so were built, then too common. Teslas way past that.

Because Jeep owners are losers, and you guys are...well...ok fair point.

Waves only make sense for low volume exclusive cars, that's not Tesla or Jeep. Five years ago when there was only the S Tesla's were a club but not now when they are nearing a million cars a year. Everybody has a Model 3 or Y, it's not a club anymore.

I've been waving, hahaha, other Tesla drivers (all 5 of them) think I'm nuts - though not as much as when I forget and wave at a Jeep 
(We have the M3P and a Wrangler 4xe)
Next up: Ducking a Tesla
That's like Jeeps around here, I'll swear there are days where like every 4th car is a Wrangler, or we'll get like 3-5 in a row ... it's a Wave-o-Rama

This. The Model 3 is the new Honda Civic from the 90s. Everyone and their mom has one, whether they care about the community or not.

Subaru owners wave...well mainly WRXs, STis and turbo Foresters, mainly those with the hood scoop. Funny thing is when people start waving at you, you feel obligated to return the wave. When you wave at someone and it's ignored you feel a bit slighted for maybe half a second.
This is probably why I'm so over waving. Up until my M3P was delivered today I'd been driving my STi for the past 18 years. During that time I also owned two motorcycles. Everywhere I go people were waving at me. Living near Washington, DC there are so many Teslas. Just the thought of having to wave at all those people for the next 18 years is too much. Today driving around I just avoided even looking at them.
We did... but now there are too many people that don't know the rules. Same thing happened to my Subaru crowd. I've had 3 Subarus before my Tesla and the Subaru people always waved (at least the performance models). That died off when Subarus got popular and people didn't know the wave.I’ve always thought of jeep owners as part of a cult but always thought their wave thing was cool. You see almost every jeep owner wave when they pass another jeep. Why can’t we have a wave or a sign like we all turn on our windshield wipers or pop our charging door? A simple wave isn’t out to the question either. It’s not like jeep owners are the only ones that have a universal wave. Motorcycle gangs, Amish people, taxi drivers, all use a wave. Why can’t we?
Let’s start discuss what wave would be best. I’m open for ideas
Occasionally, I still get the Tesla wave.
Only people in Wranglers wave to each other. You were not in the cool club.

I was in San Fran on vacation the week before I picked mine up - it did not help my wait that literally every third car was a Tesla.
Honestly the Jeep wave is not even really a thing anymore. I drove the latest Wrangler for a weekend and (like the big nerd I am) kept count of how many waves I got back. Think I was around 45% on the weekend. I waved a few times in my Tesla at other Teslas but they either a) didn't care or b) weren't looking/on FSD. My car is new and novel for me (one month in) but for the majority of other Tesla owners, they're just clean appliances.

Never did any car waving, but I refuse to concede on your latter point.
