I ride eternal on my old crappy bicycle.

Pssh, that’s just a picture of the beltway around DC in the morning.
Time to invest in silver paint.
I never understood why they did not switch to solar power when the fossil fuel got so sparse.
Because then they couldn’t drive around in awesome frankensteined together muscle cars.
It’s just america that chooses to live like that. The rest of the world juat goes on
Mad Max takes place in Australia though.
Because the fossil lobby won and there is no renewable power source.
Mad Max world has an unreasonably robust gasoline production infrastructure.
Now I’m vaguely curious what a mad-max type car barbarian apocalypse setting would look like in a world where everyone had transitioned to EVs long before the apocalypse
You’d hear the roar of the baseball cards in their tire spokes long before you see the bicycle horde coming over the sand dune.
Car batteries last for around 10-20 years, so don’t think that would work out.
Would it be possible to make more? I don’t imagine one could manufacture something on the level of a modern EV battery without modern industrial equipment, but electric vehicles technically existed even at the point where cars were first getting invented, made by individual inventors and such, just with much lower speed and range. How useful a vehicle like that would be I’m not sure, but if there’s no easily obtainable oil around, maybe better than nothing?
Would probably be easier to go back to using animals at that point. You can make crude batteries without high tech manufacturing, but they’re going to have low energy density and likely gonna be made out of toxic stuff. So not ideal for vehicles.
Huh, all this time I assumed they got gas from dead people’s cars, but I just looked it up and that only lasts 6 months.
This bugged me about The Last of Us as well. If I remember correctly at some point they siphon gas from a car on the road…20 years after it was abandoned.
Well those sweet-ass trucks aren’t gonna buy themselves
Yeah and just imagine the car insurance costs for those apocalypse-mobiles. It would cost a small fucking fortune every month! How can anyone afford to drive one of those?
Do they ever explain where they get the gas for those things?
Parents: put some money aside. Government: pay taxes over that. Parents: do it with cash. Stores and others: we don’t accept cash anymore.
I’m just saving some blood boys for the future.
The Mad Max open world game is so underrated. I bought it without much expectation because I liked the setting and then it was one of the few games I 100-percented.
There is not going to be MadMax. The rich people will have their reasons for wanting to colonize Mars or even go to Venus, as the CEO of the crashed Titanic submarine wants. We can be happy if we can leave the underground bunkers without a fireproof suit and oxygen mask.
