The website to be webscraped has changed since the exercise was created and now you can't scrap it anymore
Bug description
Some students were trying to start the exercise for the class today (https://github.com/4GeeksAcademy/web-scraping-project-tutorial/blob/main/INSTRUCTIONS.md) but there is a problem. This website changed since the exercise was created and now you can't scrap it anymore. In the past it blocked the access but you could solve the issue as it is written in the solution. But currently the website needs javascript to render the page. I solved the issue for today class pushing a rendered copy of the website to my server (https://vaz.io/tesla), but I think the material will need to be update with a better example. Maybe download another table from Wikipedia, I don't know, all the exercise will need to be rewritten.
Steps to reproduce
Go to https://github.com/4GeeksAcademy/web-scraping-project-tutorial/blob/main/INSTRUCTIONS.md and try to do the webscraping
Expected behavior
The source should be updated and scrapable.
Anything else?
I think this should be considered as urgent
