I don't think anyone who is serious about spending 70k+ on a car is going to be swayed by the model name. They're likely looking deep into the details and comparisons.

Please no, no more 'Theory of Consciousness' pseudoscience. If we can't even get a solid consensus on what consciousness is we're not going to have a theory for it anytime soon. Every time this comes up we have a split b
