    6’6” tall. Is the M3 for me?

    Considering buying a Tesla as a daily driver. Sat in a Model S last week. Wasnt thrilled that the seat was positioned beside the B pillar when I adjusted it, making getting in and out unpleasant. Im looking for something I can daily drive but can also fit my 8 and 6 year olds comfortably in...

    REAR FACING ONLY child seats in M3- which ones have you used if you're over 6' tall?

    Please read whole post before answering. We have a Model 3 (2021 yr). We have tall front seat drivers (over 6 foot) and are expecting a baby soon. I have read so many threads and am struggling to get exact car seat model names for REAR FACING infant/child safety seats with tall front...

    Driver seat track/rail extensions for tall drivers?

    I'm enjoying the performance of my 2021 Model Y, but I'm 6'5", have a 36" inseam, and weigh in the upper 200's, and am finding the fit in the driver's seat a little snug. I've tried various combinations of having the seat back, lowered, raised, etc., but can't get my legs stretched out enough...

    Any tall drivers take delivery of the refreshed S yet?

    First post here, hello everyone. Currently waiting on my S, ordered in May for theoretical September delivery. But I'm increasingly nervous after reading about the seats being moved forward to increase rear seat legroom. I'm 6'7" and most sedans are a challenging fit for me. I've never found...

    Tall Model S owners - 6'5" (195cm)

    I have a friend who's 6'5" who doesn't like the Model X and claims he cannot drive a car, only an SUV. Anyone here that tall, or married/dating a tall guy that drives an S? I know I've had tall friends that cannot fit into a lot of cars.

    Did anyone come from bigger size sedan to Tesla Model 3?

    Hello Tesla members, I'm pretty sure that you all came from different vehicles to Tesla and wanted to ask for your comment/feedback. I currently have an Audi A7 and thinking about getting a Tesla as I fell in love with Tesla after test-driving 3, Y, S, and X. A7 is a full size sedan and an...

    Extend right leg for a 6' driver?

    I'd like to hear from a six foot tall driver who has been in a Y. If you put the seat all the way back can you fully extend your right leg (or close). The answer may vary for a person with long legs vs. someone with a longer upper torso but I'm really looking for whether the distance is...

    Driving position, steering wheel adjustment for tall people

    Got delivery of a Model 3 four days ago. This car replaced my Model S 75D. One thing I noticed (that I probably missed during test drive) is how limited the movement of the steering wheel is when is adjusted. I am 6’ 2” tall and in general I have to move the driver seat almost all the way back...

    Steering Wheel Extension kit available?

    I am 6'4 with long legs and have to put the seat all the way back and have the steering wheel all the way out and all the way down to get it as close to me as possible.. My steering wheel does not extend far enough, so I need another couple inches to make me not have to constantly reach for the...

    Heavy/Obese drivers - Model 3

    Any heavy Model 3 drivers out there? Am 5’9” 300 lbs. Currently drive an Audi A6 with no issues at all. Any shorter but heavy owners with some insight? I’m thinking about making a switch.

    Model 3, pedal space to rest left foot?

    On the Model S, there is no space behind the pedals to rest your left foot on long drive. The Model X has enough to rest yours between the brake pedal and the dead pedal. Can someone tell me if the 3 is closer to the S or X in this regard?

    Tesla Model 3 comfort?

    For anyone that's 6'2 out there and owns a model 3, have you had any difficulty fitting into the car? Is leg space an issue? I've heard many mixed reviews coming from people that are 6 flat saying it's a bit cramped and 6'7 people saying that it's as much room as they could need. I'm really...

    I can't take it anymore!

    Ok guys, what am I doing wrong?! My neck, my shoulders, my back are driving me nuts. I thought I was going to scream on the way back home (45 minute drive). I have tried every single position, tried numerous seat cushions.. I can't do it anymore. How can you guys possibly drive this car long...

    More Drivers Seat Leg Room

    How's it going guys. Just sat in a Model S today and need more leg room in the drivers seat. I'm 6'6" Has anyone found a solution to this, ie rail extenders, custom shop? I'm in the CA in the SF Bay Area and would love to find an aftermarket shop that has done this. Thanks guys, Charlie

    Any tall Model S owners yet?

    If you're over 6' tall and own a Model S, can you post your thoughts on headroom, including both driving/riding as well as ingress/egress? My wife and I did some test riding in a friend's Model S this weekend (with sunroof), and was wondering if the headroom issues we encountered are something...
