I live in So Cal and the friendly wave is just not here. I also have a Subaru WRX and those guys are properly nice and always wave. With other Tesla owners in So Cal I try the wave but instead get what feels like snooty drivers most of the time.
I'll wave to you if I see you. I grew up in Menifee and will be receiving my Model S around Thanksgiving. It's nice to see someone else from Menifee on here. What color is your Model S?
Still lots of waving and light-flashing here around Boston.
One thing I've noticed: an increase in the number of *oblivious* Tesla drivers. Maybe later buyers have more on their minds than us folks who bought in '13 and before. Anyway, I think some lack of waving is (a) obliviousness and/or (b) delayed reactions.
Had a party at my house recently and we think something like 70-80 Tesla owners showed up (lost count -- problems at the checkin table). So I think the spirit is alive!

If anyone gets waved at by a guy in a blue 2005 Corolla with 3 hubcaps... That's me! I always want to wave and honk but I feel like the sentiment would be lost on you drivers :-/
:biggrin: And it wasn't stalkery at ALL. LOLSo I've been chatting with another forum member and this individual introduced me to an app some like to use to track/share positions when doing trips. I looked into it and though I would try it out on a road trip I am on now. The GPS ties back to web address that you can share with others so they can follow your progress. I decided to share the link with this forum member and now I know true hospitality!
On day one of the trip, I got a helper who chit-chatted with me to help pass the time and shared key milestone. For instance, I got a messages when I crossed a state line. When I approached a Supercharger (I had shared I am going to ones I've never visited before), I got directions on how to find the Chargers and tips on things around there. In one case, I got the warning to grab food before I stopped at a specific location unless I wanted McD, BK, or Wendy's as there wasn't anything else around.
When I stopped randomly, off path, I got a message making sure I was ok. When I got stuck in traffic, I got help in finding an alternate route. When I ended up having to split my trip over two days and crash somewhere for the night, I got help in looking up and determining charging.
This goes above and beyond hospitality and want to express deep thanks for this. My road trip has had a couple bumps along the way, but I knew I had someone looking out for me and I wasn't alone on the back roads of an unfamiliar area! I hope his camaraderie between Tesla owners never ends!
I'm extrapolating that it was "LocaToWeb" from info in others' posts.Cyclone, what is this app are you referring to? Sounds amazing!

Yup, that's the app
Agreed. I would absolutely be more inclined to stop for another Tesla owner than not. I feel like we're in a "Tesla fraternity/sorority." Maybe that feeling will wear off after I've had the car longer - but I hope not.They are being more and more popular in our area. Few drivers do wave, most do not.
My wife and I were having an interesting convo on our last roadtrip based on Tesla hospitality to each other:
Her: If you saw a Tesla pulled over on the side of the road, what would you do?
Me: I dunno, keep driving?
Her: I'd stop. What if something were wrong?
Me: Maybe they're taking a nap. Or had to use the shoulder as a restroom. Would you stop for another car?
Her: No, only Tesla.
