Tesla’s vegan leather upholstery has been criticized.
The Times reported that Teslas being imported to the UK have been retrofitted using actual leather as a result of complaints.
Elon Musk’s firm claims they are not liable for the problem because it is not caused by a manufacturing defect.
The owners of electric cars claim that the bubbling was caused by substitute leather reacting with lotions, hair sprays, and other products on hair and skin.
The vegan upholstery expands when the car is heated.
Elon Musk, the owner of the firm (pictured), claimed that it was not liable because there is no manufacturing defect.
The most frequent defect reported is on the headrest, which can cost several hundred of pounds to replace.
One member of the online forum Tesla Motors Club, under the name Gidster99, said that she was quoted more than £1,400 to fix bubbling on her seat.
Tesla is reported to have told drivers to wash their seats and headrests before every trip and claimed that Tesla was not responsible for the problem as it is not an issue of manufacturing.
