What is this in the cup holder?

Was looking at pictures of a 2020 GTC and saw this. Anyone know what it is?

A receptacle you can use to hold anything.

Yup can put coins in there but need to use something to dampen them to prevent rattles.

People still smoke in luxury cars? No better way to make them worthless.

If I recalled correctly there is something called "Smoker's Package". Maybe OP's vehicle has this equipped?

Hi,

Yes , this is the smoking package. (Code 301)

Consisted of:
Ashtray insert
holder (a kind of cup)
Glow lighter
The always present 12V socket is then additionally illuminated and without the cover


Fun fact:

Without the smoking pack, the existing socket is not illuminated. It's basically the same component.
But then the plastic doesn't shine through in an amber color. Instead, a light-impermeable black plastic is used.
Oddly enough, the lighting bulb is always present, connected and functional. (2018)

Best regards

Stenzel

Funny all I see is the carbon option I don’t have and have been annoyed about since the day I bought it! 🤪
