Yeah, long car trips. Just visiting my parents is 2 hours by car. My sister would be 2-3 days (I fly for that). I drove to visit my nearest aunt and uncle and that was a very, very long one day drive. About 12-13 hours.

It must be cultural, because two hours doesn't seem that long to me, yet nobody I know would drink in the car on such a trip, we'd stop at a gas station / roadside diner.
Probably. I can't see why I wouldn't at least want the option of being able to carry a beverage. But I primarily drive two-seaters and don't see the need for more than one or two, let alone 19!
It just seems like a waste of time to sit for 30 minutes in the middle of a journey and wait for your coffee to cool. It's far more leisurely to sip it as you drive instead of feeling hurried to finish it.

Yeah, another of our cultural differences is that we mainly drink espressos, not large cups. So it's a 5-10 minute break, not 30.
