Passenger door opening dimension

New to the forum and potential Model Y purchaser.

I have huge favour to ask any Model Y owner. My wife has some mobility issues and getting in and out of the vehicle is difficult.

I'd appreciate if someone could give me a distance measurement from the center of the passenger seat where the seatback and base meet (right where your butt would sit) to the a-pillar. This would be a more or less horizontal measurement. I'm trying to find the maximum distance so the seat would be adjusted as far back and also adjusted as low as possible.

I need to know if my wife can enter the car by sitting and swinging her leg into the car with the minimum amount of bending to her knee. Think of transporting a patient who just had knee replacement surgery.

Thanks,
Grant
