I have a heifer, mule, and donkey.
It is my many dogs,  that all fart,  that are really bad.
 

Ya, dog farts can be nasty.  Especially those little dogs.  Growing up, my grandma had two small dogs (Lhasa apso and Lhasa/poodle) and they'd usually sleep with me when I stayed over.  The poodle used to sleep with his but somewhat near my head and that little f#%ker would let some silent and very violent ones go!   

It never really is about 'the environment', its about being a contrarian and the thrill of cancelling things.

Cows are used for a large percentage of foods for both human and animal consumption.  They also produce milk which is used for cheese, butter, cream, etc., etc.

Cows are not going away.  Using the hide for leather seats doesn't cause any additional cows to be bred or slaughtered.  The only additional/unique impact on the environment would be the chemicals used in the tanning process.  Electric power production is the number one impact on the environment in leather production processes.  The chemicals are more of a pollution concern, which can be mitigated.

As with many products, leather goods are imported from countries with cheaper labor and fewer regulations to control pollution.  So, while we sit around making new laws to stop leather production in the US, the demand still exists, and the suppliers are primarily not US-based.  The arguments against leather production are academic at best.

Most synthetic leather is made from Hydro-Carbon based Oil.
Oil supposedly is not renewable. Cows are.

So, is it National Cow Day from OUR point of view, or from the COW'S?

That would make a difference in how we show our appreciation!

Do they sell those 3 wheeled mopeds with the bubble cabin? They are everywhere in Tokyo,
 Domino's Pizza had fleets for delivery.

I haven't seen any of those,  only the Honda street van,  a few other VW vans, but mostly the Daihatsu, Suzuki,  etc trucks

Regarding the Japanese Kei Trucks, Acty Van, etc.  Getting one here seems straightforward enough.  Are there any mechanics that work on them here?  I love the idea of these things, but I don't want to be stuck using google translate trying to find a replacement starter for one.

Mopeds.

Diverting back to tesla and leather and cows.
National Cow appreciation day next month was part of the Chik Fil A  advertising campaign.

This has nothing to do with small cars. Just cows.
I have a large suv with leather seats and fully appreciate the cows that made them.
Fyi, I drive a small car to work and I love it. I barely use 20 bucks a week for gas and parking is never a problem.

Ok, back to regular programming now.

The leather issue is like the electric issue. No use gas, but uses oil to gather materials for the batteries. No use cows, but is making pleather and its chemicals better?

 But elon is trying.unlike others who talk a big game and dont drive an EV.

====================
Sounds like a no win situation but if you think about it, cows are a multi-purpose item.
Look at all the wonderful stuff cows make besides luxurious seat covers.
Steaks, roasts, ribs, jello, milk, ice cream, butter, beef jerky, kal-bi, cheeseburgers, holsters, mag pouches, belts, pants, jackets, hats, sex paraphernalia....

seems like a no-brainer to me
