Other mistake: The monitor from inside Mack's trailer displays his whole face while talking to McQueen. There is no camera outside of Mack that can display him in that fashion.
Suggested correction: The camera in the trailer may be a TV video instead of a camera.
No, McQueen is talking live with Mack through this monitor.
Continuity mistake: Before Lightning falls off the end of Mack's trailer, you can see Snot Rod and one of the other cars running alongside the trailer. But when the camera moves to show Lightning coming off the trailer, you can see alongside the trailer in the background, and the cars are now missing. Camera switches back to the front of Mack, and the cars are back alongside again.
Suggested correction: Actually, they are still there. They're just out of view.
Deliberate mistake: At the start of the film when the commentators are explaining the tie situation between the 3 cars the green arrow to the car is out of alignment and misses the car, instead pointing at the track. Pixar Creative Director, Jay Ward, who is this film's team manager (as well as art coordinator) has stated that this was deliberately done as a joke, for fun. It's a little bit off, in the same way that Chick Hicks is a little bit off. This is the video with Jay Ward explaining: https://youtu.be/ZkJre-eC-zE?t=25.
Suggested correction: If this was deliberately done for a joke, shouldn't this be under trivia? It just doesn't make sense to me that this would be a mistake if that was the entire point of it. I remember that this entry used to have a correction explaining that it was done for a joke, and the actual mistake didn't state this originally.
Continuity mistake: When McQueen leaves Radiator Springs, he still has his new hot rod paint job from Ramone. When he exits the trailer at the track in California, he is back to his racing paint job.
Suggested correction: It did not occur "suddenly". He got repainted somewhere in between his leaving Radiator Springs and arriving at the race. No mistake.
What about immediately after the race? Also note the commentator during the race remarks on his 'white wall tires of all things', which are absent, until he finishes the race that is.
There was no indication that he stopped anywhere else to get repainted bright red for the last race and then painted back to metallic red after the race.
After the race, he comes back to Radiator Springs and Ramon's paint job is back too. So it's really an error.
Continuity mistake: After the first race, McQueen blew out both back tires. When interviewed after the race, his pit crew changes his rims with new tires, but the old rims have tires on them. They should be only rims, since earlier in the race we see him riding "on the rims" only, with sparks flying from the metal touching the track.
Suggested correction: McQueen's pit crew fixed his tires before the camera shot on him.
I think you missed the point of the mistake. 2 crew members are taking off both of McQueen's driver side tires (we can assume they replaced the passenger side off camera). But one should just be the rim. You're suggesting the pit crew replaced his tires off camera and then decided to replace his tires again when on camera.
Trivia: The car crash suffered by The King in the last race is very similar to the accident that Richard Petty had in 1970.
Suggested correction: The ending crash has no similarities with Richard Petty's crash in 1970 at Darlington. The King's car didn't hit a wall. It most likely took inspiration from Richard's 1988 crash at Daytona.
Easter egg: On the original "Cars" DVD, let the menu animation run twice. On the second time a Dinoco logo will appear for a few seconds. Quickly get to it and press select or enter. You will be greeted with a modified version of Boundin', used to test the animation for Cars.
