> it’s a shame Doc didn’t equip the Delorean with Tesla electric motors when he visited 2015. That would have made things easier considering the Delorean was equipped with a working Mr. Fusion generator in 1885
He put flying car parts into it. Why the hell would he want some lousy electric motors?
- icameron 11y agoWas it working? I always thought Mr Fusion was damaged along with the time circuits when the Delorean was struck by lightning.
- simcop2387 11y agoMr Fusion at least had to have been working. Otherwise in 1885 they wouldn't have been able to power the time circuits. That said, that doesn't mean the flying cart upgrades were still.
- awalton 11y agoThe Doc specifically mentions that Mr Fusion only powers the time circuits, not the rest of the car. So to get Back to the Present it would have had to have been functional, given the plutonium system was removed between BTTF1 and BTTF2.
- serge2k 11y agoNo, Mr Fusion is fine (hence no need to go trying to find ONE POINT TWENTY ONE JIGGAWATTS). The flying circuits were fried.
- FrankenPC 11y agoIf the writers could actually see into the future they would have installed a LFTR mini thorium reactor instead of Mr Fusion(tm).
- toothbrush 11y ago> He put flying car parts into it. Why the hell would he want some lousy electric motors? I think the author is referring to the fact that then the Mr. Fusion could also have powered the vehicle while driving around on land. Perhaps flying would still be impossible without magical alternative-2015 fuel/parts, but at least you'd be mobile on land in almost any situation.
