For the record, no one has ever waved at me. If they did, I would certainly wave back, but I wouldn't be the first one to wave.
If you ever see a Grabber Blue GT with a small black Poodle in it, I’m waving. You probably can’t see my black paws though. 😁🐩

Waving is for jeeps.

Now when I drive my 69 Mach 1, I can’t make it a mile without people giving me a thumbs up or head nod.

Pretty much the same for my ‘69 Cougar Main comment on the Mach E is for the color.

Back when I was driving a Corvette, it seemed the Corvette wave was mandatory! I pretty much wave at ever other Mach-E driver I see, but I think I have only gotten one wave back (at least that I saw) in two years. I guess we're not as friendly as we used to be, or maybe we're just all too cool for that these days... :cool:
Could you post a photo of your spoiler and say where you got it? I'd like to add one to my MME. Thanks!

Interestingly enough, I get 75 percent of people waving at me from their F150 Lightning when I drive my Lightning, BUT.... maybe 10 percent of the MachE drivers wave when I drive my MachE. Not sure what gives, but it's very questionable!

I got the spoiler on Amazon in 2023. They are still available, however, it looks like they discontinued the painted versions, unfortunately. Mine came painted, and matches my Rapid Red paint perfectly. But I guess since they have been updating the color palette over the model years, this supplier stopped trying to keep up. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BP9WX99Y

I like that it extends past the width of the tailgate, where it is raised a bit. It came with adhesive strips, but I swapped them out for some genuine 3M adhesive strips, and used an adhesive promoter. It seems pretty rock solid 2 years later. And here are some photos of when it first got installed, and then one after the stripes were done.

If I got waves from Tesla in my area, I would have to always drive one handed.
At one point I was bored at a few traffic lights and counted them. About 1 in 5 cars were Tesla.
Even that seems like a low count for the Bay Area. Many times I have noticed that both the car in front of me and the car behind me, as well as the car to my left and the car to my right are all Teslas.

I think I've only ever received a wave once or twice in the two years I've had my MME.

Yet, just the other day someone honked at me. When I turned to see what the problem was I realized it was because we were both driving Grabber Blue MME's. I honked back. :clap:

It was a totally unscientific count, just being bored at the light a few times. :wink:

And yeah, at times it seems like I'm in a sea of Tesla-s.

If you want that kind of community, buy a Mini. We always waved at each other.

Weird thing about this car. It's very distinctive looking, and yet kinda subtle. Not long ago I was at a red light, looking around, when I noticed a very familiar logo on the car next to me (it was the MachE logo, of course). I had no idea before that, and we did wave ... once we both noticed.

If you wave, i wave back. But there's too many around to wave. I'd have to use BC to keep up.

I have TWO 2024 Premium AWD Long Range Mach-E's: One Eruption Green, one White
By the time I see that it's a mach-e, it's too late to wave.

...the next time I wave in comradery and you don't wave back, I'm going to hunt you down, take your car and leave you with a remote control Cybertruck.

You have been warned!
Driving up to Sacramento from San Luis Obispo. Saw a Tesla at an Electrify America charging station. Poor guy didn't know he couldn't charge there. Had 0 miles of range so had to be towed to a Tesla charger. My Pony chuckled.
