There is a guy on Mud that 3d prints cup holders that are 1000% better then the stock ones. One of my first upgrades.

Just bought one of these for my 2014 LX570. Fitment is great, have yet to test it but it looks like it'll do the trick.

Normal size drinks are ok...but if you go mega / super size, that'll be an issue... but bare-able imo.

The thing I dislike is the center 'V' shaped divider in the center of the cup holder. When fitted w/ a slightly larger cup, when you pull the cup out, the divider will sometimes get pulled out too. not to mention it takes a bit of effort to 'realign' the divider back on. They should have a flip **** on the top to prevent the divider from being pulled out unintentionally.

These are inserts if you want to maintain the lid

These are better and completely replace the stock cup holder

Putting things into perspective...

I think its ok to have an imperfect single/dual cupholder situation and a worthy trade off when you have one of the sexiest, futuristic cars out there that will still look brand new in 15 years.

Both posts nailed it nicely.

I'd add to that the idea of lawsuits because steering wheel wood color didn't quite match that of the wood trim, and technology lags...and that's after shopping and buying the trucks.

Whiners...
