Does a Tesla wrap change the real paint on my car?

No. A custom wrap is a digital image. It changes how your car looks on the car's screen and in the Tesla app, not the real paint.

Why isn't my wrap showing in Paint Shop?

Check that the file is a PNG between 512×512 and 1024×1024 pixels and no larger than 1 MB, that its name is 30 characters or fewer using only letters, numbers, spaces, dashes and underscores, and, for USB, that it is in a folder called Wraps at the top level of an exFAT, FAT32 or ext drive with no map or software update files on it.

Why does my wrap look misaligned on the car?

Each Tesla model and generation has its own template. A wrap made for one model, for example the 2020–2024 Model Y, won't line up on another, such as the 2025+ Model Y. Download the version made for your exact car.

How many custom wraps can I add?

Up to 10 from the Tesla app and up to 10 from a USB drive.

GUIDE

How to add a custom wrap to your Tesla

Q: Which Teslas support custom wraps?

Tesla publishes wrap templates for Model 3, Model 3 (2024+), Model Y, Model Y (2025+), Model Y L, Model S (2021+), Model X (2021+) and Cybertruck. Your car also needs a software version that includes the Wraps tab in Paint Shop.

Tesla Paint Shop lets you put your own wrap on the 3D model of your car, on the car’s screen and in the Tesla app. Here’s how to add one in a few minutes, using the Tesla app or a USB drive.

Last updated 7 October 2026

1. What you need

A Tesla that supports wraps. Tesla publishes wrap templates for Model 3, Model 3 (2024+ Highland), Model Y, Model Y (2025+ Juniper), Model Y L, Model S (2021+), Model X (2021+) and Cybertruck.
Up-to-date car software that has the Wraps tab in Toybox → Paint Shop.
The Tesla app, version 4.59.0 or later, or a USB drive.
A wrap PNG made for your exact model. Each model and generation has its own template, so a wrap for one won’t line up on another.

2. Get a wrap for your car

Every TeslaSkins wrap is made on Tesla’s official template for its model, so it lines up on your car. You can preview each one in 3D before you download it.

Browse all wraps, or go straight to Model 3 wraps or Model Y wraps.
Want to try it first? Grab one of our free Tesla wraps.
Or design your own wrap in the editor, with colours, gradients, patterns, text and your own images.

Make sure you pick your exact car, for example the 2025+ Model Y Juniper Premium rather than the 2020–2024 Model Y.

3. Add it with the Tesla app

This is the quickest way, and you don’t need to be in the car.

Save the wrap PNG to your phone.
Open the Tesla app and select your car.
Go to Creations → Wrap → Upload and pick the PNG.
Check it on the 3D model, then tap Upload & Apply Wrap.

4. Add it with a USB drive

Download the wrap PNG to your computer.
Connect a USB drive to your computer. On Model 3 and Model Y, you can use the drive in the glove box, but keep the files already on it.
The drive must be formatted as exFAT, FAT32 (MS-DOS FAT on a Mac), ext3 or ext4. NTFS isn’t supported.
Create a folder called Wraps at the top level of the drive, and copy the PNG into it.
Make sure the drive doesn’t have map or software update files on it.
Plug the drive into your car while it’s parked.

5. Apply and switch wraps

In the car, open Toybox → Paint Shop → Wraps. Your wraps appear there, and you can switch between them or go back to your paint colour at any time.

6. File requirements

Format	PNG
Size	512 × 512 to 1024 × 1024 pixels. Use the template size for best results.
File size	No larger than 1 MB
File name	Up to 30 characters, using only letters, numbers, spaces, dashes and underscores
How many	Up to 10 from the Tesla app and up to 10 from a USB drive

TeslaSkins wraps are made to these requirements, so they work straight away.

7. If your wrap doesn’t show

Not in the Wraps tab? Check the file is a PNG under 1 MB and its name follows the rules above.
Using USB? Check the folder is called exactly Wraps, sits at the top level of the drive, and the drive isn’t NTFS. Remove any map or software update files.
Can’t see Creations in the app? Update the Tesla app to version 4.59.0 or later, and the car to the latest software.
Looks misaligned on the car? The wrap was made for a different model or generation. Download the version for your exact car.

Tesla’s own instructions and templates are on Tesla’s custom wraps page on GitHub.
