How to Add Custom Wraps to Tesla Paint Shop

Learn how to upload your custom body wrap designs to the Tesla Paint Shop feature using a USB drive or the mobile app, ensuring you meet all file and format requirements for a smooth experience.

Quick steps

Pick a wrap made for your exact model and download the PNG.
Copy it into a folder named Wraps at the root of an exFAT or FAT32 USB drive.
Plug the drive into your Tesla's USB port.
Open Toybox → Paint Shop → Wraps and select your design.

File requirements

Files must be in strict PNG format and cannot be JPEG images with a changed extension.
Each individual file must be smaller than or equal to 1MB in size.
The image resolution must be between 512x512 and 1024x1024 pixels.
File names can only contain letters, numbers, underscores, and hyphens.
File names must not exceed 30 characters in length.
Ensure the PNG file is a true PNG image, as disguised JPEGs will be rejected.
The selected template must match your specific Tesla model, such as Model 3 Highland or Cybertruck.

Method 1: USB drive

Format your USB drive to exFAT, FAT32, or MS-DOS FAT, as NTFS is not supported.
Create a folder named Wraps in the root directory of the USB drive, paying attention to case sensitivity.
Place your valid PNG wrap files directly into the Wraps folder.
Insert the USB drive into one of the USB ports inside your Tesla vehicle.
Navigate to Toybox, then Paint Shop, then Wraps to select and apply your custom designs.
Note that the system supports a maximum of 10 custom wraps when using the USB method.

Method 2: Tesla app

Ensure your Tesla mobile app is updated to the latest version available in your region.
Verify that your region supports the custom wrap upload feature via the mobile app.
Prepare your PNG files according to the file size and resolution requirements before uploading.
Access the Paint Shop feature within the app and select the Wraps tab to upload files.
Keep in mind that the mobile app method also limits you to a maximum of 10 custom wraps.
Allow the app to sync with your vehicle over Wi-Fi or LTE to finalize the upload process.

Troubleshooting

Upload fails with a file size error.

Check that your PNG file size is 1MB or smaller and compress the image if necessary.

The system does not recognize your custom wrap file.

Verify that the file is a genuine PNG and not a JPEG file renamed to .png.

USB drive is not detected or shows an error.

Reformat your USB drive to exFAT, FAT32, or MS-DOS FAT, ensuring you do not use NTFS.

Files are not appearing in the Paint Shop menu.

Ensure the folder is named exactly Wraps (case-sensitive) and is located in the root directory of the USB drive.

The wrap template does not fit the vehicle model.

Confirm that you are using a template specifically designed for your Tesla model, such as Model Y Juniper or Cybertruck.

File name is rejected during upload.

Rename the file to use only letters, numbers, underscores, and hyphens, and ensure it is under 30 characters.
