Tesla Motors Unveils "Fully Vegan" SUV

• http://www.trueactivist.com

When you think of luxury cars, you usually envision leather seats and that "new car smell"… But what if ethical consumers – such as vegans – don't want seats lined with animal skin?

It's been a conundrum for people that eschew eating animals and their products, as well as utilizing anything made with their parts, which is why TESLA delivered in a really cool and exciting way.

NBC News reports that for decades, leather-free options in the car industry have been limited. For this reason, the animal rights organization People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) – which is actually a shareholder of Tesla Motors – urged the electric car company to offer vegan leather for the interiors of its vehicles.

Reportedly, CEO Elon Musk was present at the company's annual meeting in June 2015 and stated that he would "absolutely" consider it.

Well, he did more than just consider it. He made a lot of animal rights activists happy by unveiling the company's new Tesla Model X, which features double-hinged falcon wing doors.

The world's first all-electric four-by-four SUV can hit 60 mph in 3.2 seconds, has a top speed of 155 mph and can drive 250 miles per change.

And, of course, the seven-seater is available with faux leather seats.
