Anybody know how this rear cupholder comes apart?

Two of the rubber pinchers are inverted. Happened a long time ago but still annoys me. Tugging on the rubbery bits nets no results. I need to get behind them somehow. I tried a solid tug on the whole plastic assembly, but it didn't pop out and I'm afraid to tug any harder not knowing for sure how it's assembled.

Suprised tape or a vacuum wouldn’t pull it out.

Good luck!
If you can't get them to pop out or clips break, it's $10 for a new one

I am often pleasantly surprised at how reasonably Tesla prices their parts! Armed with the knowledge that it's only a 10 dollar part, and knowing that if there's 6 clips I'll certainly break 4, I decided to take a different approach. First I tried @UberNoob suggestion to use a vacuum, but that failed. I ended up just puncturing the rubber with a small 90 degree pick and pulling them back into shape. It's fine.

THANKS

The cup holders on this truck are a stupid design anyway... I love everything about my truck - except this. That is a prime example of form over function.

I had to pop out mine because I had to clean it, and the rear clips broken off. If you use a pry tool, pull it straight up. If they break off, UV glue works really well. Better than crazy glue. Yes the part is cheap to order, but Tesla charges $200 for shipping anything.

Pull it straight up. You can use a rubber band around the center of the pinchers to keep it from happening in the future. I haven't found the right rubber band yet and I tell my passengers to please do not it again.

You can also have parts delivered to your service center for free, if it's local to you.

I think they work great. Might just depend on what type of container you use the most.
