I cannot wait until I receive my Taycan. My concern is if my husband will fit. He is 6' 5". He fit into the panamera, but does not fit into the 911s or my boxster. Has there been any information released on the headroom?

There has been literally zero information given out from Porsche. There is a lot of guessing, congecture and photo shop going on but nothing definite from the Mother Ship. No exact dimensions, colors, battery sizes, HP choices etc. I assume as it gets closer to the September Auto Show, if things are on schedule, Porsche will start sending out detailed information to those that placed deposits. At that point customers will be scheduled for appointments at their local dealership to actually place a detailed work order with listed accessories. Until then it is all crickets.........
P.S.- Went by my local dealership 2 days ago and neither my salesman or the general manager had a clue on details for the Taycan. Either Porsche is telling them absolutely nothing or they have been sworn to secrecy.

Inside EVs was able to get inside the Taycan during the Goodwood Festival of Speed this past weekend and here what they said about sitting inside it.

I take another look into the rear seats. The idea is to see what getting in feels like, especially without hitting my head. The gently sloping lines of the roof and the rear side windows remind me spontaneously of a 911.

Surprise: in spite of being 1.88 m tall (6,17”) and having a cap on my head, I sit in the back in a deep, but very comfortable position. There’s some space between the top of my head and the glass roof.

Legs and feet get enough space. One reason for this is the so-called "foot garage". It was created by a recess in the battery pack, as the development engineers around let me know.

Sounds about right as I recall Porsche wanted the Taycan to feel as much 911 as it can.

You will gain additional front seat headroom if you don't get a sunroof. That is my plan plus my Taycan will be an outside car, less leaks hopefully.

Forbes got to ride in the Taycan and they shared some info about the headroom in their review. It's possible your husband won't have to squeeze too tightly when he steps inside.

The Taycan is a five seat, fastback sedan, roughly the size of the Panamera. Based on its size and form factor, this can really be considered the first really direct competitor to Tesla’s Model S. I slid my five-foot-eleven inch frame into the right rear seat behind similarly tall Robert Sorakanich from Road&Track and had plenty of leg room. Despite having to wear a racing helmet I had plenty of head room once inside although getting through the door opening was a bit awkward as usual in such circumstances.

According to Car and Driver's latest review of the Taycan, rear-seat space is capable of seating someone who's 6'5".

It's a Four-Seater Sedan for a Reason, and Not Simply an Electrified Panamera
Meier says the sedan configuration was chosen because the Taycan needs to sell in high enough volumes to meet worldwide regulatory requirements that a sports-car could never achieve. But Porsche was determined not to lead with a SUV because it wanted its first EV to be as dynamic as possible.

However, it's not simply an electrified Panamera. The Taycan is a size-class smaller, with aggressively sloped hood- and rooflines. In fact, sitting in the passenger seat, the hood appeared to plunge faster than that of the new mid-engine Corvette we sat in recently. And the Taycan has a trunk versus the Panamera's hatchback because the space required to package the hinges on a hatch would've either negatively impacted rear visibility or raised the roofline.

Rear-seat legroom in the Taycan is quite generous, although the top of this six-foot-five evaluator's head was just brushing the optional glass roof in the car we rode in; Meier says that the rear-seat headroom is about an inch less than the Panamera's. Part of its rear-seat spaciousness was enabled by strategically removing two of the battery pack's 33 individual modules from the area where rear passengers' feet reside, dropping the floor there more than three inches. As passengers slide their feet further under the front seats, though, they'll notice a steep ramp back up to the floor height found in the rest of the cabin.

Some insight on headroom and overall cabin room for 6-footers:

• "In terms of size, the Taycan is smaller than a Panamera, and you can tell inside. As is usual for Porsche, the driving position is sensational, with massive wheel telescoping and ample seat adjustment for someone 6-foot-3 like me. With that seat set as such, the seat back was touching the knees of a 6-foot-2 passenger in back. If set so that there was enough room for him, I'd still be perfectly comfortable. Headroom back there was just sufficient for both of us, and the seat itself is a comfortable distance from the floor."
• "Ingress and egress are an issue, however. Besides the raked roofline, there's little space between the door, front seat and back seat. Just about everyone's shoes got caught in some way while exiting the Taycan's back seat. There's also the matter of passenger count – the Taycan only seats four standard, with a "2+1" rear seat arrangement available for $480 – which wasn't on hand, but it's safe to assume that no one over the age of 5 will fit in that "+1" middle rear seat."

The reviewer in this video is apparently 6'4" and he seems to fit comfortably in the back seat.
