How to install a custom Tesla wrap

A Tesla wrap is a PNG file that Paint Shop paints onto your car's 3D model. Paint Shop lets Cybertruck, Model 3, Model Y, Model S 2021+ and Model X 2021+ show your own wrap on the touchscreen and in the app. You need one PNG file made for your exact model and year.

1. Make the file

Design it in the studio or start from the gallery. Pick your model and year first: a Model Y 2025+ file will not line up on a 2023 Model Y. The download is already a PNG under 1 MB with a clean name.

2a. Upload from the Tesla app

1. Update the Tesla app to version 4.59 or later.
2. Open your car in the app, then Creations › Wrap › Upload.
3. Pick the PNG from your phone.

2b. Or copy it with a USB drive

1. Format the drive as exFAT, FAT32 (MS-DOS FAT on a Mac), ext3 or ext4. NTFS does not work.
2. Create a folder named Wraps at the top level of the drive.
3. Copy the PNG into Wraps.
4. Keep map updates and software update files off this drive.
5. Plug it into a USB port in the car.

3. Apply the Tesla wrap

On the touchscreen open Toybox › Paint Shop › Wraps and choose your design. You can store up to 10 wraps from the app and 10 from USB.

Tesla wrap not showing? Check these

• File over 1 MB. Tesla skips larger files. Re-download from the studio, which shrinks the file until it fits.
• Not a real PNG. A JPG renamed to .png still fails. Many AI image tools only save JPG.
• Wrong size. The image must be between 512 and 1024 pixels on each side; the template size works best.
• File name. Letters, numbers, spaces, - and _ only, 30 characters at most.
• Wrong template. Each model and year has its own panel layout. A file made for another version shows up stretched or in the wrong places.
• USB drive. NTFS format, a folder not called exactly Wraps, or update files on the same drive.
• Old app. App uploads need Tesla app 4.59 or later.
