Tesla has announced that the capability for drivers to personalize their Cybertruck’s infotainment avatar with custom wraps will soon be available across other Tesla models. This functionality was initially introduced in the company’s recent holiday software update, allowing users to create and upload unique virtual wraps. The expansion of this feature aims to enhance user personalization across the Tesla vehicle lineup, reflecting the company’s commitment to customizable in-car experiences.
Previously, Tesla offered a wide array of Cybertruck wrap options, but in September, most were discontinued, limiting consumer choices. The introduction of user-generated wraps marks a strategic shift towards empowering owners to design their own vehicle aesthetics. This move aligns with the increasing demand for personalized features in automotive technology.
What Customization Options Are Available?
Drivers can use a provided template to design their own virtual wraps, adhering to specific requirements such as a resolution of 1024×768 pixels, a maximum file size of 1 MB, and utilizing the .png format. These custom images can then be loaded onto the vehicle’s infotainment system via a USB drive, allowing users to select from up to ten personalized wraps through the Toybox feature under the “Paint Shop” section.
How to Implement Custom Wraps?
Implementing a custom wrap involves creating a compatible image using the provided GitHub instructions and template. Users must organize these images into a folder named “Wraps” on a USB drive, which is then inserted into the Cybertruck. Once uploaded, the wraps become accessible within the vehicle’s interface, providing a seamless method for personalizing the car’s digital display.
When Will Other Models Receive This Feature?
Tesla has not specified an exact timeline for releasing the custom wrap feature to additional models. However, initial focus remains on Cybertruck owners, possibly due to the active community interested in vehicle customization. Future updates are expected to roll out progressively, enhancing personalization options across the Tesla fleet.

By facilitating customization, the company not only caters to individual preferences but also fosters a community around creative vehicle personalization. Users interested in this feature should prepare their custom images to meet the specified guidelines and await further updates for broader model compatibility.
