Tesla Cup Holders and Skinny Cans: The Problem and the Fix
By Nick Corona, founder of Every Holder · August 1, 2024
Tesla's center-console cup holders are wide and deep, so slim cans like Red Bull and Celsius rattle and tip. Here's why - and the simple insert that locks them in place.
If you drive a Tesla and reach for a Red Bull, Celsius, or White Claw, you already know the problem: the can sits loose, leans, and rattles every time you take a turn. It's not your imagination, and it's not just Teslas - it's a mismatch between modern slim cans and the cup holders built for older, wider cans.
Why slim cans don't fit Tesla cup holders
Tesla's center-console cup holders are about 3 inches across - sized for bottles and big tumblers, and far roomier than a slim can, which is only about 2.1 inches. That extra space lets the can slide, tip, and clatter instead of sitting snug.
The result is more than annoying. All that movement knocks the carbonation out of your drink faster, and a leaning open can is one hard brake away from a spill on your console or seats.
The fix: an insert that adapts the holder to the can
The Skinny Can Holder is a 3-inch insert that drops into a standard cup holder and steps the opening down to grip a slim can. Inside are tiered steps sized for each common skinny-can format, so an 8.4 oz Red Bull and a 12 oz Celsius both lock in place with no wobble and no rattle.
- Fits the standard center-console cup holders across the Tesla lineup (Model 3, Y, S, X) - and the standard cup holders in most other cars too.
- Holds slim cans from 8.4 oz up to 20 oz - Red Bull, Celsius, White Claw, Michelob Ultra, and more - and steadies standard-width cans too.
- 3D printed in the USA; drop-in, no tools, nothing permanent.
Designed and printed in Phoenix, Arizona, it's the same one-size-fits-all insert that's kept skinny cans steady in standard cup holders since 2016 - and it works just as well in a Tesla.
