Tesla owners are always looking for new ways to personalise their cars, and one of the most underrated features is hidden inside Toybox. The Tesla Custom Wrap feature, found in Paint Shop, lets you digitally customise your vehicle using your own images, logos, or designs. It’s free, officially supported by Tesla, and surprisingly easy to use once you know how it works.
Whether you want to add your business logo, create something fun for your kids, or simply experiment with a unique look, this guide walks you through the full process from start to finish.
How to Create Your Own Tesla Custom Wrap for Toybox in Paintshop
What is Tesla Paint Shop in Toybox?
Tesla custom wrap is part of the Toybox Paint Shop feature built into your vehicle. Instead of applying a physical wrap, you design a digital one that appears on your Tesla’s screen and in the mobile app. It’s a great way to test branding ideas or just have some fun without making permanent changes to your car.
Once installed, your custom wrap can be selected directly from Toybox and swapped out at any time.
Download the Official Template
To get started, Tesla provides an official blank template for each vehicle model. This ensures your design aligns perfectly with the car’s shape.
Follow these steps:
- Visit the official Tesla GitHub repository: https://github.com/teslamotors/custom-wraps
- Open the folder for your specific vehicle model
- The example folder contains images of wraps already installed
- Download the template.png file
This template already matches the wraps you see inside Toybox, so it’s important not to modify its dimensions.
Designing Your Own Tesla Wrap
Open the template in your preferred image editor. Photoshop works well, but Canva or Photopea are also great options, with Photopea and Canva being free online alternatives. When designing your wrap, keep all graphics within the template lines and adjust sizing, rotation, and placement carefully so everything aligns correctly.
You can add logos, illustrations, patterns, or colour accents. For example, you might place a company logo on the bonnet, fun characters on the doors, or subtle colour changes on the trim.
When finished, save the file using Tesla’s requirements:
- PNG format
- Non-transparent
- 512 × 512 or 1024 × 1024 pixels (1024 preferred for quality)
- Maximum file size of 1 MB
Installing the Custom Wrap in Paint Shop
Once your design is ready, it needs to be loaded onto your Tesla using the USB drive in the glovebox.
Steps:
- Remove the USB from the glovebox (make sure recording is stopped)
- Plug it into your computer
- Create a folder named Wraps (exact spelling)
- Copy your PNG file into that folder
- Safely eject the USB and place it back into the glovebox
In the car, go to Toybox → Paint Shop → Wraps, and your custom wrap should appear at the top of the list. Select it to apply.
