I'm perfectly fine identifying cars that have proper names, but the mid-luxury brands (BMW, Mercedes, Lexus, Infiniti, etc.) eschew names for alphanumeric gibberish. I can't be arsed to remember all their numbering schemes. And Teslas largely look the same to me unless they look distinctly like a dumpster. I can't tell an S from a 3, or a Y from an X.
Yeah like you can tell the rough number on a BMW 1 or 3 or 5. But the actual meaning of E46 3 220d is beyond me.
