Info and Hints from Elon Tweets

How can an interior be vegan? Make it all from oil-based plastic instead of artificial leather? Or soy plastic that will disintegrate in 10 years or so?

That is so cool to hear. Thanks for that

 

[Blue Millenium]

Totally fair lol but relative to other "Tesla sources," how much better does it get? Hopefully this stays true for the sake of all tall people in the world, of which I am not one.

True That! I'm 6'5" as well and have a soft spot for hearing what I want to hear.

My guess about where they are going with the super minimalist interior.

Welcome, @Kimad06. Plenty to talk about in the coming months! We appreciate your contribution.

Great news about AWD upgrade cost.

Elon's tweets are so inspiring. I have them come to my phone. Everytime he tweets it feels like christmas all over again

I want to know too, though I think it'll be like the newest Ford Fiesta which uses biodegradable products in the seats and interior inserts. Sounds very recycled but not sure about durability and longevity.

I guess I'd just as soon go with fabric seats, if available, than some latter-day pleatherette material.

He is serious about cowbells (tweet)

I wonder if cowbells == electical vehicle warning sound since legislation seems to be coming out in the same timeframe as the Model 3

I would expect there would be an easter egg with actual cow bell sounds.

If they are similar to the model x vegan seats, ppl say they should hold up better long term than the normal leather

If I can recall from the X forum, even non-vegan X owners seem to prefer the white vegan seats to the leather ones. Elon said himself it has better stain resistance etc.

The white vegan x-seats under the glassdome... my rear passengers will live like Riley

Must have cowbell sound when touching a spot - so you can provide the necessary cowbell to any song playing.

I am not sure they will hold up better, but they did perform the best in their stain tests and they are improving the durability supposedly with a new backing. Many people love the look and especially the feel of the synthetic white leather. But for durability I would guess the textile seats will perform the best. I am yet to hear one bad review of the textile seats. People are really happy with them:
Textile Seats?

oh sweet.. you just gave me an idea.. set up an IFTTT (if this, then that) for any tweet of his! You're genius. Pushed to my phone

Thank you!

I actually uninstalled Twitter from my phone. I like using Pushbullet for all sorts of notifications that tie into various apps.

I drive a 2012 Prius plug-in besides having a deposit on a T3. The Prius seats are made out of recycled products. Most people think they are leather. Durability and longevity have been great! I'm happy T3 is going the same route.

I don't know the compound makeup of the "Vegan" (Klingon?) upholstery material, but the Mercedes MB-Tex material is super. Looks and feels like leather and seems to be bullet proof for the almost two years I have had it in my B-class. It shows zero wear so far.
