Head rests

[Robesaw]

How is everyone’s experience with the non-adjustable head rest for the driver seat?
I have a bad back and neck and when I rent cars I’m often annoyed by the positioning (assuming this is a safety regulation) for forward pointing headrests.
I see Cybertruck has one and if it’s too forward for me, it will trigger lumbar issues for me when driving.
I’m over 6’ tall.
Appreciate any shares on this.

I'm 6'4 and the whole seat fits me great and is really comfortable. I was worried also, not having been able to drive one before getting it.

As someone with herniated discs, I'd say the seats are good and not great. The headrest is not a problem at all to me, but I'm only 6'.

Compared to my Model 3 Performance, the seats are a bit less comfortable. For a bad back, the fact I can get in and out more easily offsets the less comfortable seats. Somehow the M3P is both softer and offers more support, it's a really great seat and I would swap with the CT seat all day, once I am in it (getting in and out of M3P sucks some days). CT biggest weakness isn't in the back, rather i wish the leg support extended forward a few more inches. I think the CT is a 6.5/10 though, still good. For my own personal back problems M3P > Lightning > CT, but none of these are bad.

I was concerned about head rest.
I am 5’6” and the head rest is fine.
My issue is the depth of the bottom of seat…leg support. The seat is very short compared to a model Y seat. Really odd and I am a short person.
Why is the Cyber seat so short for legs?

The CT seats are not as comfortable as the Model 3. I find myself adjusting the back a lot more. With M3 I was able to set it and save it forever. Also, the headrest is only a problem when I recline to rest. My head never touches the headrest (I am 6 feet) when I am driving so it doesn’t matter. However it is hard and pointy when I recline with no neck support so I will need to buy something for that.

Personally I cannot rest my head on any car's headrest. I always feel every bump and vibration transferred into my jello brain and I dislike it.

Perhaps you can try changing the angle of the seat so that the headrest is farther back and you do not use it?
