Looks like Elon took a HVAC course, and learned how to do Duct work.

Have you seen that chin in a helmet, or should I say, not in a helmet?

Yea, but I don't think that really explains why he drives like this, and it's not just this video, he does it in just about every clip i've seen him in, even with helmet on. Maybe he just likes his head on the headrest. Its usually much more exaggerated than this.

Maybe it is the wind is too much so he does that so his eyes are more closed.

If he leans any further forward the sheer weight of his chin will pull his face into the steering wheel!

He does that in non-convertibles as well. In the end, after rewatching a few videos, it seems he just has a habit of putting the back of his head on the headrest, which creates the angle, but if you watch for it, he does it in just about every video at least part of the time.

Maybe it is so the turkey neck doesn’t jiggle, or he doesn’t get a double chin.

Maybe he just doesn't know or appreciate good posture. Anybody know how tall he is offhand?

Part of the problem with Jay is he bought an Arai helmet, which is designed for a round face. He should have bought an AGV.

offhand, not offgoogle

but if no one else knows, if you could click it and get back to me, that'd be great.
