How to make the Tesla Roadster AI video with your own car
Upload one photo of your car, choose the ramp flip or the flying car, and download a vertical MP4 about 3 to 6 minutes later. No prompt, no editing app. HD clips cost $9.90, or $6.90 each in a 10-pack.
4 steps
From photo to post
- 01
Add your car
One photo, whole car in frame, no people. 10 MB at most.
- 02
Pick the stunt
Roadster Ramp flips your car over a ramp; Make My Car Fly adds you as the driver and launches it into the sky.
- 03
Pay per clip
$9.90 for one HD 720p clip on Seedance 2.5, $6.90 each in a 10-pack. Failed clips are credited back.
- 04
Download and post
A 10 to 12-second vertical MP4 with sound, ready for TikTok, Reels and Shorts in about 3 to 6 minutes.
1. Take or pick the right car photo
- Whole car in frame, nothing cropped. The rear three-quarter angle works best because the clip is shot from behind.
- Daylight or even light, no heavy filters, no people standing in front of or inside the car.
- JPG, PNG or WebP up to 10 MB, at least 300 pixels on each side. We strip location data automatically.
2. Choose the stunt
Roadster Ramp needs only the car photo and gives a 12-second clip of it climbing a curved ramp, flipping once and landing on four thrusters. Make My Car Fly also needs a photo of the driver and gives a 10-second clip of you getting in before the car launches into the sky.
3. Buy a clip and start the render
Every clip renders at 720p on Seedance 2.5 with no watermark, at $9.90 each or $6.90 each in a 10-pack. If it fails, the credit comes back automatically. See pricing.
4. Download and post
The clip lands in My videos as a 9:16 MP4 with engine and thruster sound and no music, ready for TikTok, Reels or Shorts. Add your own sound in the app if you want, and label it as AI-generated where the platform asks. Files are deleted after 30 days, so download what you want to keep.
Other ways to make it
A CapCut template is free but pastes your photo over a stock clip. General AI video tools such as Higgsfield can do it if you write and iterate the prompt yourself; see our Higgsfield comparison and the prompts we use.
Answers
How-to FAQ
01Do I need to write a prompt?
No. Both scenes use fixed prompts that we wrote and tested, so you only upload photos. If you are curious, the full prompts are on our prompts page.
02Can I do it on my phone?
Yes. The whole thing runs in a mobile browser: upload from your camera roll, wait, then download the MP4 to your phone and post it.
03Why does my car look slightly different in the clip?
The model rebuilds the car from one photo, so it has to invent the sides and details it cannot see. A rear three-quarter photo with the whole car visible gives it the most to work with. Badges are hidden on purpose.
04What if the clip fails?
If rendering fails or a safety check declines something, the clip credit returns to your balance automatically and you can try again with another photo.
