- 8 years ago
Some people buy Tesla's fast-accelerating electric vehicles not for their performance but rather for their eco-friendly, polar bear-saving powertrains.
Ironically, once these buyers have plunked down the $100,000 for their Tesla, they are then forced to choose between interiors fitted with the skin of deceased cows or regular old cloth.
"We find that customers enjoy both leather and nonleather options for their Teslas," Tesla spokesperson Khobi Brooklyn, told the New York Times .
There you have it, well-heeled vegan EV enthusiasts: You can now option your high-riding all-electric crossover with a fine interior material that doesn't require the slaughter of cows.
