Anyone notice anomalies in the vehicle types in the nearby vehicle display?
  • The prize winner is the Tesla Model Y, which usually shows as a car, but occasionally as an SUV.
  • But some smaller (than Tesla Model Y) cars, like the Kia Soul and Chevrolet Bolt, show up as SUVs.
  • Occasionally, a Tesla Model 3 shows up as an SUV.
  • (not-so-mini) Minivans usually show up as SUVs instead of vans, although a small Nissan NV200 showed up as a van.
  • Full size vans sometimes show up as large trucks or pickups.
  • Pickups seem to be correctly identified even if they have caps that could give them the general shape of SUVs, but often show up as SUVs if they have contractor's racks.
  • A trailer sometimes shows as a vehicle tailgating the towing vehicle.
Also, the car shape looks like a small rounded sedan (like an early 1990s Honda Civic sedan) that has been chopped and lowered.
