Tesla AI Video can make a 12-second ramp-flip clip of a customer’s car from one photo, which a car business can use as a social reveal if the customer agrees and the clip is labelled as AI. The clips are fan parody, not Tesla footage. Read the rules first, then make a test clip. Tesla AI Video is an independent fan site and is not affiliated with Tesla, SpaceX or Elon Musk.
Why does the ramp flip fit a car reveal?
The Roadster ramp flip suits a car reveal because it is a short, dramatic clip built around one car: it climbs, flips and lands, then stops for a clean hero shot. For a dealership, detailer or wrap shop, that gives a vehicle that just left the bay a bit of spectacle. It works as a hook for the first second of a Reel. See Your Car Takes Flight.
How do I make one for a customer’s car?
- Photograph the car you sold, wrapped or detailed: whole car, three-quarter angle, daylight, clean background.
- Get the customer’s consent to post an AI clip of their car, and of anyone in the photo.
- On Tesla AI Video, upload the photo and pick Your Car Takes Flight. For a drive-past look without the flip, try Hop the Traffic.
- Choose 9:16 for Reels and TikTok, or 16:9 for YouTube and your site.
- Download the MP4, check the wheels, paint and any badges, and post it with an AI label.

What does one clip cost a business?
A Standard 720p clip on Tesla AI Video costs 10 credits, which is about $6.99 on the Single pack at $6.99 for 10 credits. Other quality settings range from 5 to 93 credits per clip. Larger packs and monthly plans lower the cost per credit. There is no free tier. Check pricing for the current packs and plans.
What are the rules for using it in marketing?
- Consent. Get the customer’s permission for their car and for any face in the photo. Photos of minors, celebrities and public figures are blocked.
- Label it as AI. The video is generated, not footage of the car. Follow each platform’s AI-label rules.
- No Tesla branding. Do not use Tesla’s name, logo or footage to sell anything, and do not imply Tesla endorses you. The video is parody.
- Accuracy. Do not use the clip to claim a car can do something it cannot, such as flying.
- Rights. The terms say you may download and share the videos you make and that you are responsible for each platform’s rules. Do not assume any special commercial licence beyond that. If you are unsure about advertising use, check the terms.
Results are not perfect: badges and wheels can drift, so check the clip against the real car before posting. The fixes are in the fixes guide.
