T Sportline offers a full leather and carbon fiber interior for the Model S and Model X.
Tesla has decided to do away with real leather in all of its vehicles in place of a "premium," non-animal option instead, the first of which was intruded on the Model X in 2016. The eco-friendly approach, while applauded by shareholders like PETA, might not be up to par for those looking for an over-the-top luxurious interior. Enter T Sportline.
The shop known for its upscale and often outrageous builds of Tesla vehicles, everything from the Roadster to the Model X, has introduced a custom leather interior option that can be applied to any Tesla Model S or Model X vehicle. The company uses "luxurious and durable" full grain Nappa leather leather similar to OEMs, and offers a range of unique color options for buyers to choose from.

Though the company doesn’t specify how much a full leather interior will cost on top of the price of a Model S or Model X, previous examples have been priced upwards of $25,000. This Model X, for example, was listed on eBay with a Bentley-style red leather interior, and included coverage of everything from the lower dash, to the center console, and even the steering wheel. The asking price was $180,000.
Apart from the optional full leather and carbon fiber, T Sportline also offers options a range of accessory color options, everything from brake calipers to a full exterior wrap. The company even recently released first images for a "Carbon Sports Package" for the new Model 3, which will include upgraded 20-inch wheels, carbon fiber trim on the spoiler and rear diffuser, and a full bodykit. No pricing details were given just yet.

Tesla recently became the first car manufacturer to offer vegan-only seating choices. Certain customers committed to sustainability have applauded this move. That being said concerns arise about “vegan leather” (whether in the PVC or polyurethane form) across multiple fronts: whether it is truly more sustainable than leather, its durability, and its comfort.
Materials Befitting a King
The overwhelming majority of T Sportline’s clientele have a top-of-the-line Model S or Model X that they wish to enhance, and demand upgrades befitting of their vehicles. T Sportline has always excelled on designing and upholstering custom interiors that are beautiful, luxurious, and durable using the highest-end genuine leather and carbon fiber materials available.
Quality Starts at the Source
Just like any other material, not all leathers are equal. T Sportline procures only the finest quality full grain Nappa leather from the same mills that produce OEM leather for luxury marquees including Ferrari, Rolls Royce, Bentley, Mercedes & Lamborghini. In fact, many of T Sportline’s customers own a vehicle from these other manufacturers. They look to the company to bring their Tesla up to the level of their exotic supercar, and T Sportline is more than happy to oblige.
As with all of TSportline’s offerings, their clients are able to select from a plethora of colors as well as specify custom patterns and stitching. They sky is the limit!
Craftsmanship
T Sportline’s leather craftsmen remove all seats and interior trim pieces, then expertly install the leather and carbon fiber pieces with precision. Clients can choose from a wide variety of leather colorways and patterns - including TSportline’s Signature Diamond Stitching or Signature Quilt Stitching.
Tesla continues to innovate and advance the expectation of what a full electric experience can be. T Sportline continues its passion for ensuring that no matter what the future holds, clients can still expect power, luxury, and style from their Tesla vehicles.
