    I hope this doesn't sound crazy but no matter what type of material the container is made out of (glass, plastic, metal) by the end of the day, there is always water in bottom of cupholder. I'm talking about a 1/4 of water or more. It doesn't matter if contents of container is hot, cold, or room temp.....there's always water! I can't imagine condensation could be causing this much water.... but maybe? My car is parked in a garage, and this happens year-round. I have a 2018 Prius Prime with 43K miles. Thanks

    That's a lot more water than condensation causes. My best guess is someone is secretly messing with you to make you crazy. If you know who would be most likely to do that, send them the link to this discussion and see how they react?

    Gaslighting is the term. Comes from the 1944 movie Gaslight.

    Gaslighting has more to do with narcissists protecting themselves from consequences of their anti-social behaviors... In this case, it's just someone's weird behavior/prank. But maybe once OP finds out who's doing it and confronts them, there will be gaslighting. :)

    My vote is the OP is trolling/gaslighting us

    Agreed! Especially because they're not having a conversation with any of us... Just posting and then vanishing.

    I've seen alot of water in your cup holders over the years... And you never explained why... And now here's a perfect opportunity to do so and yet, you still refuse to tell us how it happens? We certainly know its not the rain!
