A kinder, gentler car has debuted in Palo Alto.

Tesla Motors has made vegan interiors (seats, steering wheels and gear shifts) an option on its new, falcon-winged electric Model X SUV thanks to the urging of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, a company shareholder.

"By offering a 100 percent leather-free car, Tesla is pushing its eco-friendly business even further into the future," PETA Executive Vice President Tracy Reiman said in a statement. "PETA can now point to Tesla as a source for top-quality vehicles whose cruelty-free seats are as kind to the environment as its engines are."

New reservations are being accepted for Model X with a $5,000 payment, with estimated vehicle delivery at the end of 2016. According to Fortune, the base price is $80,000.

Their religious fervor in veganism is comparable to the adherents of Sharia law.

Maybe you, and I would, but PETA types would rather cause a 100 car pile-up with fatalities, than run over a rodent crossing the road, let alone doing the safer thing with a moose, if need be.

I can just picture them weaving across the road herky jerky style stomping on the brakes to avoid hitting flying bugs in the spring and summer time.

Maybe we can convince them to push for a biodegradable car.
