Plot hole: Benji puts his car into automatic mode, which operates partly through satnav. Surely, this would be monitored by The Entity, who has predicted every other action up to that point. The same car is used at the end of the film, but if The Entity hasn't noticed it by then, it's not as powerful as they think it is.
Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning (2023)
1 plot hole
Directed by: Christopher McQuarrie
Starring: Tom Cruise, Ving Rhames, Simon Pegg, Rebecca Ferguson, Hayley Atwell
Factual error: Ethan decouples a moving train, moving the chain link by hand. Impossible as there would be massive tension on it.
Luther Stickell: Ethan, what's your objective? What's your ultimate objective?
Ethan Hunt: Your life will always matter more to me than my own.
Luther Stickell: None of our lives can matter more than this mission.
Ethan Hunt: I don't accept that.
Trivia: Final budget was $291m, in large part due to the delays caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, making it one of the most expensive films of all time. Filming was scheduled to start in February 2020 with a planned release date of July 23, 2021. Filming eventually started on September 6, 2020 and wrapped in September 2021 - the film was released in July 2023.

Answer: While it looks like a normal Fiat 500, this is a specialised IMF car, as evidenced by the controls inside and its ludicrously high speed. It being electric is in line with that.
