Per the person seen in the photos:

"I'm 6'9" and fit wonderfully. Headroom is VERY similar to the Model Y at 4-5" of clearance even with a hat.
With the door closed my knees did not jam against the steering wheel. Seat goes far back enough that it felt too far for my comfort.
Overall the whole cabin felt spacious and the back seat was really comfortable for me though less headroom than the front."

Sounds like they could've lowered the roof a few inches and improved aerodynamics further. I'm pretty short though, so I don't know how much headroom tall people like to have...

I’ll tell you now, we love headroom just as much as any other person. Never fun not being able to fit or move inside a vehicle we like.

I'm 6'7 and just test drove the R1T this morning (I have a R1S LE reservation). There is plenty of headroom (I didn't even have to move the seat to the lowest setting) and an adult still had enough room to sit behind me.

I'm 6'5" and it still boggles my mind how when I had a Tundra, I had barely any room. Toyota just seems to think nobody is above 6'. My Model 3 has tons of space for me, which is great, but not a ton of space for my 6 year old son who sits behind me. Can't wait to get into something bigger like this, and if somebody who is 6'9" fits so well, this should be great for a short tall person like myself

This was how much legroom I had with my 5’9 girlfriend driving. I’m 6’5 with ~36/37” inseam. Needless to say this vehicle should work really well for normal sized people or with kids.
(This was during our demo. I don’t have mine yet)
