Apologies, probably should of stated some more facts.
In answer to your question, no its not.
Im not even sure if anybody has ever used it specifically for cars apart from formula 1 to identify tyre hotspots.
Its mostly used for house surveyors to determine if walls are missing insulation or where the heat is escaping from around doors etc.
Personally i am an electrical/mechanical engineer so will be using it to identify above average temperature electrical contactors or bearings and motors etc.
And i wouldnt spend 3-4k minimum on a thermal imaging camera to use on my car, its just that i use one for work so will find it useful to use on my car for various reasons.

Yep, poor joins = more resistance meaning more heat.
Ever borrowed it from work and had a play around?
