Where's the fabric option??? :biggrin:
THIS!
Sadly unknown to far too many, to include this august forum, the GHG's involved with raising animals to then murder them and cut up for their parts, in addition to being remarkably cruel generates far more GHG's than ALL of transport combined . . .

http://www.un.org/apps/news/story.asp?newsID=20772#.VEJiEPl4rigTesla needs to move away from using any animal parts; making leather mandatory for the P85D is just ignorant as all get out, and a surprisingly large blind spot for an otherwise brilliant company.
Lastly, for the Luddites out there: there's NO penalty for sitting on something that's not made from the flesh of sentient beings--this from Consumer Reports' recent tests of the latest C- and E-Class models:
Inside you’ll find the expected Mercedes upscale execution, with a high-quality feel to every surface, switch, and button, and nothing garish or flashy. The artificial-leather upholstery, called MB-Tex, is the most believable fake leather you’ll find anywhere, and honestly, it can pass for the real thing.
and:
Fit and finish is impeccable. The faux-leather MB-Tex upholstery on the seats is a stellar imitation. Every panel fits together precisely, and almost all surfaces are covered with soft-touch materials or are dressed in swaths of wood or chrome trim.
Why is Tesla so far behind on this, especially given that sustainable transport is the company's reason for being?!?
