While browsing YouTube for elusive new Model X videos, I got this "recommended" video, hilariously titled: "Elon Musk faces the Vegan Uprising at Tesla shareholder meeting (6.9.15)":
I believe that the 2 shareholder proposals were ultimately voted down, but I wonder if the proposals actually succeeded in part.
Model X has a "Ultra White" upgraded upholstery interior option, which is synthetic leather. The "Premium Interior package" (which includes the coveted bio-weapon air filter) only adds leather surfacing upgrades if an actual leather seating option is chosen (the tan or black leather). Opting for Ultra White keeps the entire car Vegan, even if the Premium Interior option is selected. This consistency is evidence that someone in product planning was paying attention.
It might be coincidence. Or perhaps Leilani Munter had some input, since she did convince Tesla to allow for a vegan Model S P85 option.
What do you think?
