"Cogito ergo sum" (I think, therefore I am) is a statement of self-awareness arising from conscious thought--not the same phenomenon as what you're trying to describe, I think, which is something more like confirmation bias? And yes, I agree there's a lot of that going around with estimates just in this thread ranging from 0.25 to 0.48. We'll have to wait and see if Tesla releases a number.
