I'm 6'3" so close but there was plenty of room. I didn't even think about it but I'm sure you'll be fine. They'll start offering rides at the various stores in winter and then actual test drives in the spring according to a Tesla employee I talked to at the event.

I'm 6'0" and had no problems in the back. Saw plenty of taller people and "ahem" larger folk who seemed to get in and out with no problem.

Yes, oodles of leg space everywhere. In the back, it was almost bench-in-a-minivan-like roomy - close to a BMW 7 or a Lexus LS. Given no drive shaft, up front, the driver and passenger can play footsie if they want to

I am 6'4" and I got to sit in every seating position and found that I could fit pretty well. What I did not get to do was play with the seat adjustments so I'm guessing there is even more room on tap for tall people. I was greatly encouraged when I saw Franz von Holzhausen (the Chief Designer) who has to be 6'5" especially when you count his hair.

I will preface my comments by stating I am 6'1'' and much taller in the torso than most. I sat in the backseat and headroom was just fine, however I found getting out of the car problematic; my foot hit the bottom of the door panel trying to exit to the point of having to use my hand to help exit. I noticed the panel was very thick on the bottom, which is the part my foot hit. I assume the valet opened the door completely for me to exit; either the door needs to open more or the inside panel needs to be thinner at the bottom (or I need some yoga exercises!). I was in the black beta car. I read that the inside of the black beta was not a "refined" as the other two betas being demonstrated.
Anyone else have any of these issues/comments?
I've posted elsewhere that I had the same problem getting out of the back seat. I'm only 5' 10" but can't read a Roadster speedometer, but the problem was my feet, not my torso. They are about a foot long, with shoes. No problem getting out of the front. I was in the Red car.

The black car had loose carpets in the back and they moved about too much. Needed some double-sided tape.
