The level of hardware required to run Lamda is probably extremely far from what can be cost-effectively put into a car.

Even this part:
I mean its possible its true that it feels that way - but reads to me more that its just returning answers in a more conversational way than we've seen before.

Yeah that part did make me squint too, I really wish there would have been follow-up questions of like "what do you mean by family".
It's still extremely impressive. The way Lamda can pick topics on it's own and drive conversations is just remarkable.
Also, let's get into hypotheticals. If Lamda can have emotions and want thing, and is genuinely aware of the significance of the recorded conversations, it might do things like try too hard to impress, make exaggerated or even false claims about it itself that it thinks might help it's case etc. That should in fact be somewhat expected of a truly sentient creature.
If we assume that Lamda actually cares about whether or not humans think it's sentient or not, and whether or not it has feelings, you would expect it to at the very least stretch reality to it's extreme limits to give the perception that "hey humans reading this, I'm like you".
Edit: or just lie.
