Also 6'4"and a bit creaky; skiing accident related knees and age related everything else.6’4” no issue with model S but Model 3 has more room
Buying an S would be asking for trouble due to challenge of ingress and especially egress.Also 6'4"and a bit creaky; skiing accident related knees and age related everything else.
I spied my first S in 2015 and was immediately deeply smitten by the design. I still think it is just about the best looking car in its class.
I had never bothered sitting in an S believing, from what I had been told, there was no chance I would fit.
I found the M3 a little snug so waited for the Y which I test drove a week ago and found it very comfortable. While at the centre, I sat in a 3 year old S and to my surprise and delight, found it a reasonable fit. I will hire one soon for a proper test.
For me, the MY is not unlovely, in fact, with that characteristic rear haunch look it is quite attractive. So, should I live the dream and go for a used Model S (depending on how I feel after a few day's driving the renter)?
Well, a coil sprung vehicle would be too old and the earlier version (perhaps also the later) of air suspension, though marvellous, is apparently fraught with potential problems requiring expensive fixes; I'm not sure about driving a beautiful looking "time bomb"; the older the car and the higher the mileage, the shorter the fuse.
Any S owner's comments on the suspension would be appreciated.
Thank you all for your comments / advice.I'm 6'7", and I've been driving Model S models since 2015. As roomy as any car I've driven before, but you definitely want the upgraded seats if you are looking at an older model (no choices in anything later than 2018). I keep the seat all the way back, with the rear all the way down, and I'm fine, room-wise. My only complaint (and this is for virtually every vehicle I've had for street use) is there is never enough thigh support for those with longer legs (38" inseam). I wish there was an extendable front section on the seats.
I don't think Tesla offered multiple seat options in the Model S after 2018 Raven was introduced. Previously, you could choose either the standard seat (awful IMO) or the premium seat (more comfortable IMO). The standard seat offered in the earlier models was much thinner, very little bolstering, and had a fixed headrest. THe premium seat was thicker, better boolstering, and originally had adjustable headrest and lumbar support (the newest version has fixed headrests now) With the Model S Raven, the premium seat was the only choice.Thank you all for your comments / advice.
@ Cruiserlarry could please clarify : "no choices in anything later than 2018"
