Welcome noob. The search function is a very useful tool.

Mine are hot but have not yet asked for the extra insulation because some members claim it doesn't help. I will see next service though. good luck!

Heat's not a problem in the winter time, it's actually good. But summer time is something else.

Don't look a gift horse in the mouth---cup o' soup ready when you get to work

I am currently trying to divert the 1500 degrees from my cupholder to my 40 degree seat warmers

Mine heats up, but not that much even in stop-n-go traffic. Not a problem (yet).

I'm well aware of the hot cup holders issue...I was referring to the hot trunk (hence my quote)
