Have you adjusted the height of the seat cushion? I am not particularly tall (5'8") but my seat is all the way back and the seat back hits the roll bar, so it can't go further back. Recently a much taller guy tried the car and by lowering the seat cushion he was able to fit in.

You gain a lot of room by lowering the seat all the way. I’m 6 feet, wife is 5’4” - I drive with the seat dropped all the way down, when my wife drives she raises the seat all the way and she’s good, no other adjustments need be made.

Thew only fix I have seen for tall people is something called console delete. It allows your right leg to splay out further to the right. .Lowering the seat can help too. But that bulkhead is not going to move behind the seat.
