Words matter!
It's probably becuase many Tesla boosters don't really understand what they are talking about, mix up terms all the time, and have less than a surface level knowledge of most of the things they are convinced will change the world in about 6 hours from now. Kinda like people use SKUs as a stand in for product models, in an attempt to sound like they know what they are taking about.
That's not to say everyone here is like that, but it's the impression I get reading Tesla forums and tweets.
