Since you’re open to all models - Might want to wait a little bit and see what Tesla comes up with the Model S and X refreshes that are just about to hit.

This is totally off topic, but as an owner of the tesla model 3 myself (and a "convert" from 15 ish years of only BMWs in the garage for my wife and I, thats a heck of a stable you have there in the "prior" category in your signature! I get a big kick out of the number of german car fans who have model 3s and seem to like them.
Several years ago, I had the opportunity to ride in a P85D, and I was blown away! And, I've owned several fast performance cars in my life. However, I didn't pay much attention to anything other than the 0-60 time, including how well I fit in the car.
I'm a tall/big guy (6'8"/350 lbs.), so I typically daily drive full size trucks for the extra room. I absolutely love my F-150 Raptor, but I am still drawn to Teslas, especially now that I have Tesla solar/Powerwalls. My solar is expected to produce an excess of 7,000 to 8,000 kWh annually, so it should be good for 20,000 miles of EV use per year, which is just about what I drive.
I'm considering all Tesla vehicles, but the Model 3 seems to be the best bang for your buck, especially when it comes to having the newest tech (fastest charging, phone as key, etc.). I see that most Model 3 owners came from a sedan. Has anyone come from a full size truck or SUV, or high performance full size truck or SUV (Raptor, Trackhawk, etc.)? Any regrets?
My primary concern is that I won't fit comfortably (scheduling a test drive soon), but I am also concerned that the performance and tech will become a little boring after driving it for a while. I'm also concerned about reliability... I would like this vehicle to last at least 8 years and 160,000 miles with decent reliability.
You need to try it yourself. I gave my buddy who is 6' 6" a ride in mine and although he had headroom, he said he could never drive it or he would kill someone. His eyes were at the level of the cross member above the windshield, so he couldn't see anything further than 50-100ft out from the car. I'm 6' but have a longer torso and also find the location of the top of the windshield a little low, although I can still see the road fully.
that doesnt make any sense. Im 6 foot 2 and have an insane amount of headroom. At least 2 fists. have you put the seat to the bottom?
