Your post-apocalyptic vehicle won't last beyond the 1st salty winter.
You're gonna need to catch a bus to the Thunderdome you tesla rubes.
[laughs in Tina Turner voice]
When I see third-world militant groups driving around in cyber trucks, I'll believe it's the vehicle of the apocalypse. Until then, I'll stick with my Toyota pickup with a .50 caliber bolted to the back.
Just as the founding fathers intended
There wouldn’t be a salty winter in a post apocalypse would there? Like who’s going to be out salting the roads after the collapse of civilisation.
Salt is the least of it's problem
no. climate change means instability - like the crazy winter storms we've seen this year so far. the polar vortex destabilizes and sends winter weather far outside the polar region. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/science/why-extreme-cold-weather-events-still-happen-in-a-warming-world
There wouldn't be a salty winter in an post-apocalyptic world, because nobody would care to spice the streets. Otherwise I agree.
plausible.
Maybe not, but spending too much time near the coast lines could do it.
We don't actually know. It's possible that winter becomes the norm on most of the planet if we muck up Earth enough. Mother Nature will not be defeated by us mere humans.
Technically teslas will die before any other vehicle because of electricity.
eeeh, this depends on which peters out first - their access to power or gasoline. power can theoretically be generated at home via solar and battery storage so....
don't disagree with the overall premise tho.
