I searched and saw some discussions about rear row leg room, but I'm more worried about the driver's seat. About me: I'm 6'3" (1.9m) so I'm not a basketball player by any means, but I am mostly leg. I usually wear 34" inseam pants and so I tend to max out the leg room in most cars. I'm coming from a Mustang Mach-E, which is comfy enough for a few hours at a time, but I'm hoping I'll have a bit more room in the R1S.

Tall people, have you had a good experience? I'm going to do a test drive next week to see for myself before going for it, just wondering what other folks have experienced. Thanks!

I'm 6'-3", 34" inseam so sounds like we are similar build. I find the leg room to be more than enough. I do not have the seat all the way back. I do a 3 hour drive several times a month and have no comfort issues.

It did take a week or so to adjust everything to my sweet spot for comfort. It's obviously very subjective when it comes to comfort. The seats are fairly firm, headrests are just plain hard, some folks have complained about that, but I prefer firm seats over cushy pillow seats. Your mileage may vary.....

I’m 6’5” and find the legroom more than adequate. Honestly, I feel comfortable enough to sit in just about any of the seats on shorter drives. You should have no issues with the space in the driver’s seat.

I'm 6'7" with a 36" inseam. Have been driving the R1S for a year and space in the front is more than adequate.

Two-year owner/driver, 6'6" and no leg room issues. Some people are long in the torso, and some are long in their legs (36' inseam for me too), so you will probably be OK. Give it a test drive! It's great!

Took delivery last Saturday and it is indeed great! More than I need, which is a first for me. I was comfy enough in the Mach-E for shorter drives, but didn't exactly enjoy 8-hour days driving it cross country. Shouldn't be a problem in the R1S.

No problem here, but I wish there was a little more clearance for my right knee. I also like to have the seat fairly high, though, since I'm long of leg and short of torso.
