You learned how to do it the first time you ever saw a cup holder. You just don’t remember learning it.

Once upon a time, you also learned how to walk.

We don’t always consciously remember the things we’ve learned, and sometimes our learnings need to adapt, like walking on terrain that is new to us.

Adapt. That’s what humans do best.

I am in process of adapting out of Lucid.

and then you get in your Tesla, and the second you accelerate, you spill your Celcius all over the place because the cup holders are huge and have no clamps.

Maybe a worthy comment if the car was $20,000 not up to $130,000
 
The cup holders in Gravity are not much better. Last week I had a standard 12oz Diet Coke can in cup holder. Went to pull it out and cup holder was very grippy and I had to pull pretty hard and when it finally broke loose, spilled all over me. Most manufacturers use a hard plastic type holder with 4 hinged adapting grippers that work very well on a variety of cup sizes and have done so for 10-15 years. Lucid decided that they wanted to use a soft rubber console tray that would not easily accept these hinged grippers and so has limited use to a much narrower size of acceptable cups/bottles/cans. Compromise Nothing?

I am all for innovation but sometimes before a company decides to do something differently, they need to think about why everyone else is doing something a certain way before deciding to do it differently.

I’ve noticed a slight twist as you remove it will help immensely based on every single well fitting cup holder I’ve ever used across many countries and vehicles.

And all the sloppy ones pour out thier contents at each stop, start, and turn.

But that is apparently only me and maybe one other person here
