Leather!? In a Telsa? Do you know how much of a carbon footprint it takes to raise cattle?
That isn't what the car is about. I'm going to cover my dash in Bromeliad Tillandsias.

It's artificial.

Learn something new every day. I thought it was just a fancy name for suede.

Peta members will still throw paint on someone in artificial fur before doing research to find out what it really is.

UnCool!

I remember when the Tesla came out they only offered leather. The rich green contingent of buyers made a stink that there was no planet friendly option.
Since then I heard the company is also looking to make the new factory a LEED certified building and look at all portions of manufacture with a eco-eye.

I just looked at the pictures of the dash in Alcantara and it looks nice. The alcantara interior is well-made. I wonder how much you've spent on customization.
