Taj Mahal? That’s hundreds of miles from the coast. I guess this company is hoping to make the real money by offering excursions to people who are tired of being on the ship long term.

I just found this interesting as it’s something I’d completely never heard of, I’d imagine Amazon wasn’t aware of, and yet they need to be aware of to operate legally. The extent of laws in all of the jurisdictions that Amazon operates in m

I’ve taken plenty of road trips in non-Tesla vehicles, many before Tesla even existed. Non-Tesla cars work fine.

All sorts of price discrimination in the travel industry. Expedia has been advertising lower prices in their app, but at least they’re upfront about it? I dunno, but it’s annoying because you know it means “we can sell the additional data
