You just have to change the code a little bit and install a pip
Open your terminaland type pip install fix_yahoo_finance
then in you code :

#import the pip
import fix_yahoo_finance as yf

yf.pdr_override()

#change this line
df = web.DataReader('TSLA', "yahoo", start, end)

#to
df = web.get_data_yahoo('TSLA', start, end)
