Not really, but the main character's relationship with his car is reminiscent of addiction.

We don't see it, but someone is "cut in half" against a wall by the front end of a car. We're told that the person's legs were severed completely.

Not clinically, I'd say, but we find out in one scene that the main character considers himself ugly.

Someone apparently did before the events of the movie, by carbon dioxide poisoning (tube from exhaust pipe into car). There are no flashbacks.

Someone says to a close friend who's just called himself ugly: "You're not ugly. Queer, maybe, but not ugly". Whether the word is used in the meaning "odd" or "homosexual" is not clear. I believe it's the former. If it's the latter, it's at least said in an goodnaturedly teasing way between very good friends, and no offense is taken. By the way, the person it's said to isn't gay, and the friend knows that.

I'm not sure what constitutes hate speech. Male characters talk about women disparagingly, objectifying them.

Could've been worse, considering what happens to people off-screen or outside the frame. I wouldn't call the movie gory, but there is blood.
