Factual error: During the opening narration Kyle Reese states that Skynet attacks humanity on August 12, 1997. In the shot of missiles decimating San Francisco, multiple 2005-present Toyota Priuses, Dodge Chargers and other late model cars are seen.
Terminator Genisys (2015)
Ending / spoiler
Directed by: Alan Taylor
Starring: Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jason Clarke, Jai Courtney, Emilia Clarke
Pops fights the T-3000 inside the time bubble as Sarah and Kyle escape to the bunker. As the T-3000 is destroyed, Pops is thrown into a pool of polyalloy. The explosives detonate, destroying the Cyberdyne building and the Genisys countdown stops. Pops rescues Sarah and Kyle with his new upgraded T-1000 abilities, and they head to Kyle's childhood home to tell him that Genisys is Skynet. In a post-credits scene, Genisys is shown to have survived the explosion in an underground bunker.
More mistakes in Terminator Genisys
Pops: Old.
Kyle Reese: Not obsolete.
Pops: Not yet.
Trivia: The line "come with me if you wanna live" is said by Sarah Connor for the first time in the franchise.
Question: Why did the old T-800 prevent his younger self from killing three punks and stealing their clothes? I mean, these punks were meaningless to it, so why did it save them?
Answer: The T-800 "Pops" was working with Sarah Connor, and they were trying to eliminate any Terminator sent back in time. The punks were incidental and the aim was not necessarily to save them, but Sarah probably also wanted to minimise the collateral deaths as much as possible by destroying the machines as soon as they emerged.

Suggested correction: That 1997 was from another timeline before the events in Terminator 2 altered history. It's possible those models may have existed earlier in that timeline than in our world.
This is assuming too much about the alternate timelines. There would have to be more concrete evidence that such things would be altered in said timelines. Also, considering that timeline is supposed to be what took place from Terminator 1 in its own separate timeline, we would go still by our own following the events of it leading up.
