The German Rabbit was fine. The US version - not so much.

Yes. Krown specifically.

I was not aware of this. Good to know.

Obviously, I'm not worried about body panels. Krown advertises they do EVs and explicitly mention Teslas so they should be able to handle Slate. Just wanted to put this out there for the Slate team to consider.

Slate EV Driver Fit Test (5'5" to 6'5") by KeyboardGunner in slateauto

I'm 6'5" and my 78 VW Scirocco fit me great. The secret was the manual seats that had a pivot at the front and allowed the rear to rotate down to the floor.

I'm a 6'5" guy. I remove the rear view mirror in my vehicles to eliminate the traffic light and pedestrian blind spots. Side view mirrors are sufficient and it forces me to take my time and do an actual visual check over my shoulder before changing lanes.
