Holiday Update: Paint Shop for Model S and X

Ok_Lawyer_3220 | 2025-12-12 01:47 | 92 views

Hi I just received the 2025 Holiday Update for my Model X and I’m really impressed. The new features, especially the upgraded Sentry Mode information system and the updated Santa visuals, made me genuinely happy. One thing that surprised me, though, is that Tesla introduced the new Paint Shop feature but made it available only for the Model 3, Model Y, and Cybertruck. It’s interesting that the Model S and X didn’t get it yet.

CyberTruck already had it.

That is true

Question is, how do you make your own? EDIT: Create a folder named "wraps" on your thumb drive and place a 1024x1024 png on it. Use a template.

Fearless-Birthday-23 2025-12-12 04:27

Wild guess, they dont have the car models for S and X ready lol

eddib17 2025-12-12 04:31

Yeah, I'm so confused. Even Intel cars get it. So essentially if you bought a used 2017 Model 3 for 12k you'll get this feature, but if you bought a brand new 2026 Model S Plaid for 120k you won't. Not that it's anything important, but weird that it's even added to old cars, but not the brand new most premium cars. Kinda bummed coz I was looking forward to it in my Plaid, but hey at least I have it in my 3 that I don't drive much lol

That’s nuts that the S & X don’t get this in the update

ClumpOfCheese 2025-12-12 05:10

So hypothetically someone could wrap their car with goatsee

Where are the avatars shown?

MisterBumpingston 2025-12-12 05:48

On the car screen and app.

Wow, really? I wonder why they’d not have this for their flagship vehicles. I just ordered a new Model S Plaid. I hope it gets added soon.

Chaoslava 2025-12-12 08:15

This is all hypothetical, isn’t it Tom? …All academic?

They enabled it for 3 and Y because they already had it partially implemented for the Cybertruck (custom wraps) and the Chinese market (license plates). Model S and X on the other hand in the same update got the new, next-gen car visualization, and they just probably didn’t have the time to implement wraps for it. I bet S/X will get wraps support in the next few updates.

Made this website for it: https://tesla-wrap.mrproper.dev/ it allows you to create wraps, currently working on the precies functionality. But have to align the 3D models first with the texture. For now only model 3 Highland is aligned. Takes some time doing so

It came in the 2024 Holiday update.

paulwesterberg 2025-12-12 13:52

It’s too bad they aren’t actually adding some more colorful paint choices for new cars.

mcleder 2025-12-12 16:32

What is really nuts is why they are wasting their time on bling/paint shop instead of of adding real automotive related functionality? For example Birds-eye-view parking.

Vision park assist is literally this, minus the weird stretched out visuals present on literally all cars with this feature

mcleder 2025-12-12 20:26

Not quite the same but almost. I use it and I like it but I’ve had some errors in parking lots. Specifically, the vision had me about to hit a pole that was really 3 ft away. I had to get out and look before moving forward. There is no excuse to not having this. Better yet make it easy to put a front cam on every model for about $100.

People have parked for decades without cameras. Just learn how to park dude.

mcleder 2025-12-13 02:26

I know how to park dude. In most cars I can see the front of the car (the hood). The Tesla is so aerodynamic that the front end of the car is NOT visible (for me). That makes estimating where the front bumper (if it had one) is. So That is why a a working reliable parking assistant is morre important on a Tesla than on virtualy every other car on the market. The High Fidelity parking assist is not 100% reliable. Dude.

Minute_Airline_370 2025-12-13 03:51

It seems like that would be one of the easier things to program in to the update. Quite odd.

Confident-Sector2660 2025-12-14 08:36

Where are you getting these 3d models? We need these You can't make textures from 2d. you need texture painting software because the UVs are not good

NLJPM 2025-12-14 11:12

I extracted them from the Android tesla app using GoDot RE

doug12398n 2025-12-14 19:36

Adjust your seat properly lol

blackstryk3r 2025-12-15 05:34

Think it'll be similar to Tron, we'll get it a little bit later

NoSong6507 2025-12-15 07:08

More and more updates of stupid things and fewer solutions to problems or new features

mcleder 2025-12-15 16:01

Paint Shop is a waste independent of seat setting.

blackstryk3r 2025-12-15 16:01

Just got another update x.25.3.

americanreddituser12 2025-12-15 18:40

Agreed. Who is prioritizing trivial stuff like this and why do some many Tesla owners seem to care?
