Tesla's cars are already eco-friendly, but they just got a little more vegan-friendly.
Yes, vegan-friendly.
The electric car maker is now letting customers order its new Model X with synthetic leather seats and accents, according to a report from the New York Times.

The company came under pressure to increase its offerings in June of last year at a shareholders meeting. Two proposals were made on the topic. The first was to completely stop using animal-based products. And the second was to decrease the use of the products, eventually discontinuing them completely by 2019.
At the time, though, the board recommended a vote against both proposals saying that such a move would "impede or delay" the company from other priorities.
