Also a difficult thing to say because some of that depends on your torso height vs your leg length.

People 6'2" have reported they fit just fine. People around 250 pounds report that they have fit fine. I think if you were really wide though, that may be an issue. Some people that are 6'5" have reported that they fit.

Another consideration is shoe size and width. The pedals are pretty close together. If you have wide shoes/feet, check out the pedal operation.

There is a great thread HERE that shows pictures of the pedals and feet (thanks Craigy!). It mostly comes down to your shoe selection if you have wider feet.

Here is a link on a video showing getting in and out of the Elise with a top on it.
