A new company plans to shuttle passengers between cities using Tesla vehicles. Called Tesloop, it advertises itself as a eco-friendly and luxurious alternative to flying and or coach buses.

Tesloop began operations this summer between Los Angeles and Las Vegas, boasting 40 passengers during its first week of operations. Each ride costs $85 one-way, regardless of the number of passengers sharing the ride. Costs are competitive with a one-way flight between the two cities.

According to the company website, rides begin and end at Tesla Supercharger locations. Passengers are allowed one carry-on size rolling suitcase and two personal items. Food and beverages are also allowed, but only meals that will not muss up the upholstery. As of now, LA-Vegas is its only route, but the company plans to expand to Palm Springs, San Diego and Santa Barbara soon.

Tesloop was founded by 16-year-old Hadyn Sonad, who was still in high school when he established the company. His father helped him lease the $70,000 Tesla Model S with which he founded the company. Sonad believes he can make $5,000 a month with the service, he told Vice. He was also encouraged when Tesla founder Elon Musk said the Autopilot technology was only three years away from allowing occupants to sleep in the car.

Indian car company Mahindra & Mahindra is expected to buy legendary Italian design house Pininfarina in the coming weeks.

News of the purchase first leaked in March and was confirmed by Pininfarina’s majority shareholder Pincar. Now Automotive News Europe is reporting that a deal is imminent. It is the hope of both parties that the deal would help Pininfarina get back in the black.

The firm has been losing money for more than a decade. Its net debt was $56,752,630 as of the first half of 2015. Reasons cited include the fact that most automakers today prefer to keep design in-house, rather than farm it out to a firm specializing in design. Three years ago, Pininfarina shut down its automaking division that built cars for other manufacturers.

Pininfarina was founded in 1930 by Battista “Pinin” Farina and is based Turin, Italy. It is perhaps most well-known for the many Ferraris they have penned — including the 330, Dino, Daytona, Testarossa, F40 and Enzo. However, the firm has also designed many cars for other automakers, including Rolls Royce, Cadillac, Opel, Ford, Jaguar, MG, Nissan, Peugeot, Alfa Romeo, Fiat, and Maserati.
