I traded in my Challenger for my Mach and the one thing I miss is the "wave". Every Challenger that passed me while driving it made a simple gesture . A wave or a thumbs up or a peace sign. So very cool . Jeep has a similar thing.
I say we do something along those lines. We're a select few at the moment so coming across another Mach driver should be a small thrill. We should acknowledge the other drivers good taste in vehicle purchase and they should recognize ours . It's not like we're everywhere like Teslas .
Who's with me ?
I have a neighbor in my development who has the exact same model and color as my Mach.She REFUSES to even wave hello as we pass. I don't know why but it makes me mad.

Maybe she just knows you're always so Angry, Man... :p

I drove a Corvette for many years, and the Corvette "wave" was usually just a raised index finger from the steering wheel when you passed another Vette... I tried waving at another Mach-E the other day as they were turning onto the road I was turning off of. They had to be looking at my car at some point as they were turning, but apparently never noticed my wave...

Maybe we should all adopt a wave that is a sign language E (which looks a bit like a clenched fist)...

I prefer the tasteful acknowledgement of not making any gesture or glance. It's a truly advanced appreciation.

I usually wave or throw a Peace sign. More often than not they don’t see it. Or maybe they don’t want to wave back at a black dog. I don’t shed. Honest! ?‍♂?

I give a simple, small wave or lift a couple fingers off the top of the steering wheel like a peace sign whenever I see a Mach-E. I get VERY few returns.

But honestly I'm surprised how few MMEs I see in the Twin Cities, MN. I see many more ID.4s than MMEs. Probably have seen more Rivians than MMEs as well.

This!

Alternatively, how about the exploding fist gesture....? You know, to remind each other that our HVBJBs could fail at any moment.

I usually try to speed up and chase them down, drive right up next to them, ask them to pull over, get out of the car and ask them to roll down their windows, then high five them as they look on in confusion and YELL "SAME CAR!"

Dude - she wants to give you the finger not a wave because now she isn’t the only one with a car like hers!

I find with the tint, and IRR windshield it isn't always easy to see if you are getting a wave back at you. I give two flashes of the headlights. They may interpret this as a wave, or watch out, Police up ahead!

I was just joking! At one point there were only two people with them here in Fairbanks. Turned out I ordered the exact same color as the first person! Just kind of funny. Several more driving around now.
