* CoolCar: Hall's race car, a Porsche which is explicitly the last gasoline-guzzler car in America and which can outrace almost everything the government can toss at it. The government has cars of its own, but they are golf carts are most decidedly uncool.

* ArtisticLicenseGeography: The writers clearly had no understanding of how long it takes to drive across America, even when there is no traffic - at one point the government mentions losing track of Hall in Western Pennsylvania and think he's somewhere in Kansas. It's eight hundred fifty miles between the Pennsylvania border and the Kansas border, which is nearly two days travel while driving eight hours a day at normal highway speeds. If they'd lost track of Hall that long ago, they should have told Williams about it then. (Being a Canadian movie is no excuse.)

* EasyLogistics: Nobody ever explains how national infrastructure works with no cars. Alleged upgrades to the train stations would help at the regional level, but that doesn't solve the last mile problem between the stations and the stores, especially those not near a station. They also fail to explain how Hall was able to get enough fuel to travel 3,000 miles in a gas-guzzling sports car twenty years after the world's petroleum reserves started drying up. He certainly didn't have the means to carry it in the car.

* {{Zeerust}}: The film depicts electric vehicles as... golf carts. To audiences even of TheNineties, let alone TheNewTwenties, this is ''patently ridiculous'', with such cars as Ferrari's [=LaFerrari=], Lamborghini's Asterion, [=McLaren's P1=] and Porsche's 918 Spyder -- all hybrid sports cars. Meanwhile, Porsche's Taycan is a fully electric car.

* ApocalypseNot: The world seems to be in pretty good shape apart from the absence of cars. Apparently, after the oil ran out, the world managed to find practical substitutes for every petroleum derived substance in the world other than gasoline.

The unspecified plague had far more damage to society, though.
