A viral video from China shows cars with blown-up protective films due to extreme heat, leading social media users to dub them “pregnant cars.” The footage, which has garnered over 357.2K views on X, shows multiple vehicles, including an Audi, with the film inflated by high temperatures. Some users, like reporter Jennifer Zeng, claim this phenomenon is exclusive to locally-made cars, while others argue that it affects mostly aftermarket protective wraps. Experts note that prolonged exposure to extreme heat can cause vinyl wraps to warp, bubble, or fade, impacting the car's appearance. The incident highlights the broader impact of China’s intense heatwave on both people and vehicles.
