New to A8 — bigger cup holders?

Any replacement mod or option? Not a single one of my Yeti et al cups will fit. Would be surprised if there isn’t an after market solution. It I haven’t found it.

Made for European sensible size cups, you guys need to just drink sensible size coffee...

Thermos makes a 16oz one that'll fit. Found it at BJ's some time ago

Edit: seen at Costco https://www.costco.com/Thermos-Stainless-Steel-16oz-Thermal-Mug,-2-pack.product.100415025.html

The Contigo travel mugs sold at Costco fit in nicely...they snug perfectly into the upper capture ring but do not go all the way down.

What size cups are you trying to put in there? I have a big Yeti type cup along with a slightly smaller cup (with the same diameter base) that fit in there just fine?

That’s fine as long as you don’t drive the car. Tap the brakes and they want to flip forward.

No sir, I drove the car 1,750 miles this weekend with that very set up and it never once felt like it was going to fall over? Are you pushing them down hard enough to move the grips out of the way?

BottlePro Version 2 - Adjustable and Extendable Car Cup Holder Adapter for Hydro Flasks (32oz/40oz), Nalgenes (32oz/40oz), Yeti Ramblers (36oz), Klean Kanteens (32oz/40oz), and Other Large Bottles

Fits in the front cupholder and holds secure. I have it fit over the corner of my charger; it sits better if you are not using the cig litter in the front.
