At least here in Norway it would be very unusual for a coffee cup to be left in the car and anyway many of those who do drink a lot of coffee on the go use a reusable cup bought from a petrol station that gives you a year of 'free' coffee. See https://www.circlek.no/koppen for instance.

That's pretty cool. How much is that? "Costa Coffee" (a UK chain) machines are in lots of petrol stations nowadays, but I'm not aware of any kind of subscription.

For the standard 240 ml cup it costs 349 kr a year including the cup, if you reuse last year's cup it's 299 kr and they apply a sticker to the cup to say which year it applies to. Or you can buy a fancy vacuum cup at 499 kr a year. If you register for Circle K Extra and use more than a 1000 litre of fuel a year (800 litre if you pay with a Circle K Mastercard) then you get the standard cup deal free. 1 GBP = 12 kr at the moment. So the standard cup is a bit under 30 quid, 25 to renew. So if you use it even only once a week it pays.

Pret a Manger has a coffee subscription program in the UK, at £20/month. Not quite the same model as petrol stations, but close.
