crafted with precision: the technical details
We’ll start with the top-layer and deconstruct, layer by layer.
Top Layer: Silicone-based vegan leather – it feels like butter, yet tough as nails. It also matches Tesla’s white and black interior colors. Here are the specs:
- Exceeds industry standard with over 200,000 double rubs, ensuring exceptional longevity.
- Non-porous surface creates a liquid-proof barrier preventing moisture from penetrating.
- UV and hydrolysis-resistant, retaining its color under harsh sunlight and moisture.
- Chemical-resistant and anti-microbial, it stays hygienic and resists tough stains like wine and permanent marker. Bleach-cleanable for effortless maintenance.
- Medical-grade and ultra-low VOC makes it safe for your family and pets while maintaining excellent indoor air quality. Meets FDA GLP standards for skin irritation and cytotoxicity.
- Free from harmful PVC and PU, uses 100% silicone for superior sustainability. It’s flame-resistant without chemical additives, contributing to a healthier cabin environment.
Foam Core: Robust 1/4” high density ergonomic foam delivers impact resistance and cushioning, protecting your cargo while adding a touch of comfort for both gear and furry passengers. The details:
- Closed-cell structure delivers low-moisture permeability, making it resistant to spills and ideal for maintaining a dry cargo area. Although moisture won’t penetrate the top-layer. ;)
- The 2LB density foam delivers superior impact resistance and resists compression-set, ensuring it maintains its shape and cushioning properties over time, even under heavy use.
Bottom Layer: 100% cotton upcycled fire hose canvas – a material that embodies both rugged durability and eco-conscious craftsmanship.
- Upcycled fire hose canvas unbleached and undyed, natural, non-toxic properties.
- Weighing ~ 11 ounces per square yard and measuring .03 inches thick, it provides exceptional abrasion resistance and strength, balancing sustainability and performance.
Binding & Stitching: Holding it all together are marine-grade binding and bonded polyester thread, with reinforced stitching in a thoughtfully designed sew pattern for durability, strength and reliability.
- Marine-Grade binding, renowned for its use in demanding marine environments, ensures a clean, durable edge finish that's both UV and fade-resistant.
- Bonded polyester thread, chosen for its high tensile strength and UV resistance, creates robust seams that withstand heavy use and the test of time.
- Perfect color match, selected to seamlessly blend with the Wayfarer's top layer, creating a cohesive and polished look that complements your Tesla's interior.
