Cybertruck Seat Height for Entry - Info for helping elderly/limited mobility people getting in

[Speedr]

Did some measurements for the specific reason to see how the Cybertruck would work for transporting elderly or limited mobility people. I have an elderly parent who has limited movement, but can stand briefly. The current vehicle bring used is a Model Y. Below are the measurements:

Cybertruck on Entry Height, with the seat at the lowest setting: 31 inches from the ground
Model Y with seat at the highest setting: 29 inches from the ground
Model Y with seat at the lowest setting: 27 inches from the ground

These are measurements from the top of the bolsters (laid a yard stick across the front part of the seat) to the ground.

Will try a transfer soon and see if the extra 3-4 inches of height are a deal breaker.

I know this is a niche topic, but thought it might help someone looking for this info...

Its called the H point if listed in any spec's.

Can check with a local outpatient center OT occupational therapist (generally better for car transfers than PT) for an assistive device/transfer board which will make things much easier.

That is good info, do they notice a significant difference in the Modey Y between 27 and 29 inches or is it about the same, wouldn't think 2" would make a difference up until it got above mid thigh level standing then would make a big difference.

Helpful - dad has dimensia and hard to get into any car and mom has bad back - height doesn't help either...31" not too bad. Current truck (lifted 2500) has power steps but it's still tough so the CT should be an improvement..mom can get in her Y relatively easy!
