Video: Tall Person Tested (6'9") in Slate Driver's Seat

[evtruth]

We finally got the answer to "Yeah, but can a tall person fit in it?"

Slate just dropped a new video featuring their tallest employee, Cob, coming at a whopping 6' 9" (6 feet, 9 inches) tall. He appears to fit pretty well!

When it comes to answering this question, most responses address head room but I've not seen anyone address driver legroom. It would be nice to show a tall drivers legs in driving position (one foot on accelerator, one foot on dead pedal) to see how cramped the legs get.

I'm only about 5' 11", but I could fully extend my legs sitting in the truck if I put my feet between the pedals.

Hi when My son and I attended the Warsaw event there was a guy there that was 6-9 he got in and I asked him tall he was and how he fit with headroom and leg room he said he was fine on both , he looked a little tight on leg room too me but head room was good he said he would be fine driving

Body proportions vary significantly.

Example: I have a friend who's four inches taller than I, but we're even-height seated because all four inches of the difference in height are leg length.

Knowing just height isn't enough information.

He's like me - all legs. When seated no one has any idea I'm 6'3" tall.

Yes looks like Cobb fits but his legs are up against the dash. Wonder if they hit the steering wheel?

Talk about hands free driving!
