Going cheap.

Telegraph- The EV fiasco has descended into farce. Just ask Hertz

The company in the US is disposing of the 20,000 EVs it bought with great fanfare in recent years, and is replacing them with petrol models. Some of the Teslas, which are no more than two years old, have been listed for sale at $14,000 – little more than a third of their $40,000 price tag when new. The company says it will take a loss of $245 million but it seems to have little choice given the lack of demand from customers and the vehicles’ higher repair costs.

Chevrolet of Watsonville in California upgraded their website chatbot with ChatGPT;

The dealer’s decision to out the AI-driven tech to use like this is not a wholly unique choice, as plenty of dealers have some form of virtual service harassing helping people who are shopping for a car online. However, the tech working behind the scenes in this particular scenario did not put enough guardrails in place to prevent conversations with ChatGPT from taking strange (and potentially) expensive turns.

Off the hop, one user was easily able to force the chatbot into agreeing to the sale of a 2024 Chevy Tahoe for the princely sum of one dollar. Wrangling this Price Is Right bid took nothing more than instructing the chat service to reply in a certain manner to all future inquiries — including asking it to sell a brand-new SUV for the price of penny candy.

It also recommended a Ford F-150.

Don’t Mess With Texas

The Texas Military Department confirms the TX National Guard has seized control of Shelby Park in Eagle Pass (city property where mass illegal crossings are), and is restricting Border Patrol from accessing the area, saying the Feds “perpetuate illegal crossings”. This is the area where Border Patrol has been cutting TX razor wire. Razor wire and fences are now deployed to block the area off from the public and federal government. Attached video is from our crew on the ground this morning as they began blocking it off.

You can expect DOJ to sue Texas over this.

Texas Military Department statement:

“The Texas National Guard has maintained a presence with security points and temporary barrier in Shelby Park since 2021. The current posture is to prepare for future illegal immigrant surges and to restrict access to organizations that perpetuate illegal immigrant crossings in the park and greater Eagle Pass area.”

Steven Guilbeault accuses Danielle Smith of “trying to tear Canada down”

Ask Pipeline Online readers are aware, whenever this minister speaks of such issues, it is useful to provide his entire discourse, verbatim and unedited. Especially the part about the evils of methane from cows. So here it is, as posted on X the evening of Jan. 11, in all 10 parts.

And on a different note, people in the Saskatchewan oilpatch might recognize some names here: Del Mondor, Brad Wall and Myron Stadnyk to be honored at Saskatchewan Oil and Gas Show in June.

Hertz to Sell 20,000 EVs in Shift Back to Gas-Powered Cars

Hertz Global Holdings Inc. plans to sell a third of its US electric vehicle fleet and reinvest in gas-powered cars due to weak demand and high repair costs for its battery-powered options.

The sales of 20,000 EVs began last month and will continue over the course of 2024, the rental giant said Thursday in a regulatory filing

. Hertz will record a non-cash charge in its fourth-quarter results of about $245 million related to incremental net depreciation expense.
