This feels a little sus of being AI generated. Besides the things you mentioned, the letters on the IC car license plate are nonsense (with how clearly defined what we see of them are, I think we should be able to read them clearly), the grill emblem is a bit warped in that kind of slightly off but close enough at first glance way AI stuff often is, and the electric vehicle wheel we only see a tiny bit of seems off in how it touches the ground. The electric vehicle vehicle license plate lettering is also strange.

Oh and why is the left headlight of the IC car totally white instead of thermally colored when the other one is and all of the area surrounding it is?

I operate a thermal camera for a living. This image is fake.

• Thermal doesn’t see through glass
• There is no reason for the tail lights to be that hot especially since on a Tesla and most modern cars the would be LED.
• The pattern of heat from the engine coming through the hood and fairings is unrealistic.
• One headlight is as hot as the engine compartment but the other isn’t
• The source of heat of something visible through the dash makes no sense since as I said glass shows up as opaque on thermal imagery
• Why is the mercedes badge and number plate so hot?
• Why is the rear number plate of the other car half hot?
• Why is the driver side A pillar of the Mercedes so unexplainably hot?
• The numbers on the number plate would not show up with that much contrast. They might even not show up at all depending on the conditions.
• There are just odd places that look like they’re visible light photography in general
• The numbers on the number plate are gibberish, suggesting strongly that it is AI generated.
