Ok major first world problem here....how are you describing your MME to people who ask for a description of your vehicle (for things like curbside pickup)? I get various food/grocery/takeout a lot and often they ask for a vehicle description. Last time I panicked when the woman on the phone said "Ok I'll bring it out what vehicle are you in?" I was like "Uh it's a red...Mustang, but not a Mustang car, it's the new electric crossover SUV...the Mach-E? No? Ok, uh It's a bright red SUV and right outside" ??

Just did that tonight. Described it as a red crossover SUV with the tailgate open. No need to say Mustang or Mach-E. Just focused on what a normal person would look for which is a red car that looks like a crossover (having the tailgate up helps).

I told them a gray Ford, the girl came out looking lost so I called her over. She said, "that's not a Ford!" I said "it's actually a Mustang". Her response, "yeah, I wouldn't have gotten that either.

I just offer to rev my engine. It's usually easy to spot the idiot furiously stomping the gas pedal of a car that doesn't appear to be turned on.

Folks do tend to leave quickly after dropping off the food, especially if I ask them to put it in the frunk. Guess they don't much care for EVs...

“Blue Mustang”. Sometimes “Blue Mustang Mach E”. I’ve rarely been in the position you describe. I just go get the stuff and bring it to my car.

I simply say "I'm in spot # x"
<fill in X with the number of the pickup spot you are in>

I know curbside is different but I couldn't resist.
