Quick answer

Upload one photo of your car to Starrd's Roadster 0–60 template. It draws your exact car from the back, side and top, then swaps it into the Tesla Roadster 0–60 run: your car launches into a wall of smoke, shoots down the strip in a drone shot and blasts through the finish while the timer reads one second. Any car, truck, SUV or van works, from any angle. 13 seconds, horizontal 16:9, 120 credits (about $6).

Your car, doing 0 to 60 in one second like the new Tesla Roadster. Here's a minivan doing it:

What You Get

  • Your car, exactly. Same make, model, paint, wheels and mods as your photo.

How It Keeps Your Car Looking Right

The video shows your car from behind, from above and from the side. So the template first draws your exact car from all of those angles:

Pro Tip

The slower the real car, the better the joke. A minivan, a work truck or a 20-year-old sedan doing 0–60 in one second is what gets shared.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Tesla Roadster 0–60 video?

At the Tesla Roadster reveal on October 15, 2026, Tesla ran the car from 0 to 60 mph in about one second on a lit strip, with thrusters firing and a huge cloud of smoke behind it. The Roadster 0–60 template puts your own car in that run.

What photo do I need?

One clear photo of your car with the whole vehicle in frame. Front, side or back all work, because the template draws your car from the back, side and top first.

Why does it draw my car from the top?

The middle of the video is a drone shot looking straight down at the strip, so the roof shows. The template makes a rear, rear three-quarter, side and top view of your exact car, so it looks right in every shot.

Does it keep the timer?

Yes. The one-second timer stays on screen the whole way, which is the joke when it's your minivan or work truck.

Does it work with trucks, SUVs and vans?

Yes. Anything with four wheels can do the run, and the slower the real car, the funnier it is. Our demo is a family minivan.

How long is it, and what does it cost?

13 seconds, horizontal 16:9, at 480p. It costs 120 credits, about $6.

Is there a vertical version?

This one is horizontal, like Tesla's footage. For a vertical Roadster video, try Roadster Ramp.
