This might seem silly but I've noticed my elbow and even knees seem to land on uncomfortable hard spots in every car. I like to drive long distances. You have to get comfortable, settle in on these drives. I'm 6'2" but I think everyone, if you let your legs lean over to the side, your knee caps wind up leaning on something hard. It's uncomfortable. Same with the elbows on the door side of almost every car. It would be great if there were more consideration for long term driving comfort positions.
I am with you - I am 6'-4" and the center console can be a deal breaker in some cars. The door arm rests are usually possible to avoid if they don't work.
I agree, I'm only 5'5" tall but I think any surface that you regularly contact while driving shouldn't be hard, including the steering wheel. I like the heated leather wrapped steering wheel in my Chevy Bolt. The renderings of the Aptera interior would be very uncomfortable especially those seats. I'm hoping they're just stylized to look futuristic like the car.
