Default Adding additional cupholder?

What's the preferred way to get a third cupholder, one the passenger can use?

And before people ask, of the 2 already available, one holds my cupphone, the second holds my coffee. The wife needs one for her drink.

I have a 2020 C8 so no wireless android and I use my phone screen often enough while driving that it needs to sit in the cupholder.

^ This. Dozens of phone mounts that don't need a cupholder, are available for the C8.

Good question. I really don't want to stick anything on my dash or block the AC vents.

That's why I bought this and would prefer to keep it:
Weather tech cup phone

ProClip phone mount is the way to go. Puts your phone right next to your infotainment screen for easy access keeping both of your cup holders free!

I just looked into this. $90 for a solution? No thanks. 🤣😂

For the c7 they had a great cup holder that slid between the transmission tunnel and the seat....but nothing for the C8 like that as far as I can tell

Bought this when I had a C5. Then moved to my C6 then my C7, and now the C8. Pressure fit. 10 second install.

Yep, I can only find double cup versions. I'll keep looking though.

Why don't you use the SUV? My wife refuses to ride in the Corvette since it's so loud, uncomfortable, too low, hard to get in, hard to get out, no storage space, no place to hang her purse, and the list goes on...

How about leaving the phone in your pocket and enjoying the ride?

I hope your WeatherTech fits the C8 better then it fits my Tacoma. Holds the phone ok, but It rattles like hell.
