Dunkin’ size medium hot and cold fits perfectly, even with the cold cup koozie. I’ve also had fast food soda cups without issue.

Please don't use 'disposable' beverage cups. Travel mugs with sealed tops work great.
You can have them printed and shipped to you from various sites or you might be able to print it at your local public library.
Obviously if you buy a coffee on the road on a whim, this won't help, but otherwise: just buy a Contigo AutoSeal coffee mug. Impossible to spill and keeps your beverage hot for hours. Might even be worth keeping a clean, empty one in the car for when you do buy impromptu road coffees.
I use a Yeti 20oz tumbler with the magnetic close lid:
Rambler 20 oz. Tumbler | YETI
YETI MagSlider Lid - 20 or 30 oz. - Clear Plastic | YETI
Keeps hot drinks hot and cold drinks cold all day. Obviously a bit of a pain if you do a drive through but I'd rather pour it in this and not worry about it sloshing all over the car.

Model 3 has Arrived.
Also, there currently is no insert that you can remove to easily clean small spills and condensation. I bought these to add on to my cup holders and storage spaces.

Here's a couple photos of the cup inserts I bought from @chojn1 's son. Bought 2 different sizes and they work perfectly keeping cups firmly in place. From above comments sounds like it was a good idea I ordered mine in advance of getting my car. Love my morning coffee! I usually order a Tall at Starbucks and my husband like's his as a short, which fits the smaller insert perfectly (I use the larger ring insert with my Tall coffee with the cardboard sleeve on BTW).
The inserts (basically rings) go in and out easily for cleaning and can be stored in the console or fit in the side panel water bottle area. Also pictured BTW is the waste bin and 3/4 sunglass tray. Here's the link to his thread about the kids' 3D printer projects: My center console Not sure what their timeframe is for delivery.

These are the ones I use. I printed them with TPU filament and with a brim. I left the brim on so it acts as a small lip on the bottom in case of any spills and on the outside it helps it fit snugly into the cup holder. Actually works quite well.

Looks like you're prepared for the next wildfire with your N95s in the console.
Smoke can't keep a coffee drinker from their liquid! I really felt for the drive-thru baristas though with their window open all the time during this. Some days were pretty bad and I hated rolling down my window.
I would think that either would fit. Mine are technically 16 oz, though I find that certain variants (we buy several new ones every fall when Costco has them for 2-for-$20) hold a bit more than that. They don't sit perfectly snug in the Model 3 cupholders, but they don't rattle around either, even on rough pavement at 70 mph, and shouldn't come out of the cupholder in any type of driving,
Just make sure you get the AutoSeal variety. They're both leak- and drip-proof (no more coffee dribbling down the front of your shirt from lousy Starbucks plastic lids) and keep your coffee hot for hours. They're also dishwasher-safe - the silver ones completely so, while the colored ones do fine in the dishwasher but the colored finish will eventually start to chip away a bit, which in no way impacts the usability of the mugs. Beats washing them by hand, in my book.
