Is it necessary to add a cup holder in my Model S?

Just got my Model S last month and wanna add some extra accessories. I saw someone post the cup holder and really interested in it. I usually bought some drinks with my friends. It's really handy for us.

What year and model is your S? I have 4 cup holders in my 2020 S, 2 in front and two in back, and have two extra in the console. Do you need more?

I have this cup holder insert. It’s only necessary on the earlier 2021+ Refresh cars. Tesla began installing their own rubber inserts with the nubs to hold drinks sometime around January. Unfortunately the Tesla ones are lame and cannot be removed to clean, etc.

It's a Model S Plaid 2021. I added this one because it's easier to clean than the original one. It can be taken off anytime.

I didn't notice that. What does it look like?

If you didn’t notice, then you don’t have it. The 2022 S have rubber nubs to hold drinks built in, and you can’t remove it. The insert you bought only fits in the original 2021+. So you are lucky.
