The chief executive of Wollsdorf Leather, Andreas Kindermann, has issued a hard-hitting response to the news that automotive brand Tesla has made the interior of its Model 3 vehicle completely leather free.

Tesla originally used leather in its interiors but switched to synthetic material in 2017, except for the steering wheel, for which leather covers remained an option. At the end of August, however, the California-based automotive company boasted that the interior of its Model 3 was now “100% leather-free”. Wollsdorf Leather is a specialist supplier of leather steering wheel covers.
