Did we actually link the scene so we can all reference it?
Here's a YouTube commenter:
4:14 This is what the Tenet scientist (Barbara) says to the Protagonist in her facility. After a 3rd viewing of the film, I’m now convinced that all the inverted material in her lab and archive room with the countless drawers are remnants and debris (the detritus) taken from the battle of Stalsk-12 between the Tenet team and Sator’s army. Even the target wall he shoots at looks to be a bullet-ridden wall fragment from Stalsk-12. This would all make sense as the battle has already happened at this point (happens on the 14th, the same day as Opera and Sator’s final day on his yacht in Vietnam) when the earlier version of the Protagonist is getting his training and being recruited. So the future Protagonist delivers these remains to the Tenet facility so his earlier self can learn about inversion and about the war that lies ahead (even though it already happened—it plays a part in his past development. So paradoxical.)
Here's another YouTube comment:
“Don’t try to under stand it, just feel it.” That’s what I feel like this movie wanted me to experience but sorry, don’t work that way.

An article where they ask a physicist about the science:

How real is the science in Christopher Nolan's 'Tenet'? We asked an expert
There's a lot going on in Christoper Nolan's new action epic "Tenet," so we asked Claudia De Rham, a theoretical physicist from Imperial College London, for her thoughts.

I still wanna know how/why/where there was a wrecked car before it reverse crashed into a functional one again (from a normal time perspective).
Was there just a car wreck lying around on a major highway for a couple of decades, slowly un-rusting and un-degrading until it got to the reverse crash? Did someone carry a crashed car to the highway and (reverse-)dropped(c) it into traffic so it could reverse-crash? Or was there an entire reversed road-service-and-maintenance crew doing highway works and having (reverse-)smokes for a few hours prior to the chase (from a real-time perspective) that nobody noticed?

T E N E T has awesome scenes but is an editing mess with questionable production choices therefore inconsistencies happen.

It's got some problems but it is worth a watch. It's well shot, well acted, some very expensive practical effects, all that jazz. This is also the movie that was going to bring the moviegoer back to the cinema after covid stuck giving it a little bit of bonus context.

It requires just accepting "time travel movie" at some points and enjoying it for what it is.
Inverter car chase sounded great on the storyboard but they should have said "it just can't be filmed properly and it's a story mess".
All the inversion shit should have been limited to people, guns etc. like in the opera house.

If you're talking about the inverted car, it would have reverse crashed and then gone backwards through the inversion machine. Not sure what you mean by "decades"
So people carried the wreck through an inversion machine? Obviously the "pre-crash" car from the "car's perspective" was inverted. But what happened to it going back in time after it crashed (i.e. before the crash from a non-inverted perspective).
1. October - Car is inverted in the inversion machine
2. September - inverted Car crashes on the highway in the chase
3. August - There would be an inverted wreck just lying there on a major highway
4. Juli - See above
5. June - See above
6. May - See above
...
227. May 20 years earlier - See above

From that perspective it does fall apart. Just like how the bullet holes in the glass at the airport must have always existed
