Hey y’all so I’m 6’6” my wife is 6’1”. I’ve talked to a guy on Facebook that is 6’9” (my brother-in-law’s height) and he said he fit. Which is kind of hard to believe but I’m wondering what everybody’s height is especially those who’ve at least sat in a cybertruck truck or own one. The angle of the roof just makes me worried lol! I also have two little ones two and four years old that are in car seats. Luckily there Ford facing now so that shouldn’t be a problem. I was cutting it close with the seats facing backwards in my Expedition Max!
I’m 6’4”. I’ve sat in the back of mine only once to get a feel for the seats and had no issues. My wife said I still had an inch or two clearance. Car seats shouldn’t be an issue. I can’t imagine a car seat being tall enough to get near the glass roof. None of my friends or family is taller than I am so I know there won’t be any issues.

I'm 6'6" with most of it in my legs. I never have trouble with headroom, but legroom is always an issue. I was concerned because the Cybertruck has less legroom than most cars I buy. However, it turns out it isn't really a problem. The fact that there isn't an intrusive center console really helps.

Perfect, thank you!

Does that mean you have the drivers seat fully back and the steering wheel fully extended? Tesla, IMO, is very good on ergonomics for very tall people although I do think big 300 pound men and women prefer F-150's to the Cybertruck. Tesla designs for a world average body ranges, while I think Ford and other American makers design more for a more specialized American size range, who tend to carry quite a bit more weight.

I'm 6'-04" (balanced evenly top and bottom), 215 lbs. and with broad shoulders. In my Tesla Model 3 Performance, I'm nowhere close to having the seat all the way back (there is another 2"-3" of track remaining) and I have a lot of headroom (even though I have the seat in the highest position and a relatively upright seatback position). I do have the steering wheel all the way extended, though, it fits me like a glove and that is really rare for a passenger car that looks so small on the outside.

I set up the ergonomics in my cars and trucks a lot like a good race car is setup, although a little relaxed from that. Unfortunately, my F-150 is only an XLT trim level so the steering wheel only pivots up/down, it doesn't extend in/out. So, it's far from ideal for a tall person without going to the more expensive trims.

The reason I bring up these non-Cybertrucks is for comparison purposes because I still haven't sat in a Cybertruck. I'm not too concerned because I know Tesla is generally very well thought out on ergonomics. However, I still don't know whether the steering wheel extends in/out (it must) and whether it extends far enough towards the driver for a tall person, with the seat most of the way to the rear. Can those of you with a Cybertruck weigh in on steering wheel travel with seats adjusted with a normal seatback angle and positioned for taller people?

Yes - seat all the way back and steering wheel all the way extended. The Cybertruck actually has less legroom than the M3 and MY. In fact it is worst in class for comparable pickups for front legroom.

You are fine in the front two seats, back seat will be a little short on headroom for you. At 6f1 your wife should be fine in the back.

I’m 6’7” and still waiting for vin. 12/22 order date. I have sat in front and back. There is plenty of head room and leg room in front. I have about an inch of extra headroom in back so off-roading in back will not be happening. Legroom in the back of any car or truck is a problem but this cabin is bigger than most. Front seat adjustable lower/higher as well as forward/back. There is no problem finding comfort.

Sorry back to serious for my posts in this thread. I am 6'2". I can sleep slightly curled in back seat with seats up. Big thing for me. I know a big no no while driving, but I slept 4 hours straight on a 1000 mile day.

Front has plenty of room for me, and my 6' 5" sons friend. Learning and teaching people on blind spots. Headed to Miami for 2 weeks on the beach. Montana getting in the in between on the weather that I like to avoid. Kids a Senior, and not doing the Cartel thing down south for spring break and avoiding the traditional time frame.

We got a small one in my wife. 5'6" we can stuff her anywhere. ;) 5 in the truck. Golf clubs:sick:(kids).
Strange thing is she said her wrists hurt compared to the S or 3. Not used to the thing they call a steering unit. Did some adjustments. She is now working on rist exercises.

Me I found that the 3 actually had more room for me, but the other things here like foot room might help a taller person than me especially once AP and FSD gets enabled for cybertryck. Man splaying will be mighty present on the Cybertruck.

Geez, what a nonstandard distribution. US average male height is 5'9".

So to most people, I'm tall, at 5'10", but geepers.

She's two inches taller than the average woman in the US!

Geez, guys.

-Crissa
Sorry ?. Does my Avatar change make it any better?

Also I just found out after over 20 some odd years of marriage that she is 5'4". Boots and everything all the time I never pay attention. Oops. I guess height isn't in my equation of measuring in life.
