Volkswagen has revealed its upcoming ID.7 flagship electric sedan, due in the U.S. in 2024, with 282 horsepower, over 300 miles of range, massaging seats and an augmented reality head-up display. But perhaps the most important unanswered question: Will it fit a 32-ounce Nalgene water bottle in any of its cupholders (after all, we’re going to get mighty thirsty in those 300 miles between charging stops)? We checked the front and rear rows of seating, including the door pockets, and saw mixed results. Watch to find out where to stash your drinks in the VW ID.7.

JOHN SNYDER: Hello there. John Snyder with "Autoblog" here, and this is the Volkswagen ID7. A brand-new car, new electric flagship for Volkswagen, and I'm asking the important questions here, can the cupholders fit a full-sized Nalgene? Let's take a look. I like this nice interior.
Those don't look like they're going to fit. Nope. Nope. Let's check the doors here. That works. Let's check the back real quick. It won't fit in the back one. Let's check right here. Same there and there. Nope.
So it'll do the front door pockets, and that's about it there it is Thanks for watching.
