How to Make the Tesla Roadster Ramp AI Video With Your Own Car (2026)

Put your own car on the Tesla Roadster ramp: up the curved wall, upside down, rocket boosters, a mid-air flip and a smoke-filled landing. One photo of your car, 12 seconds, vertical 9:16.

Quick answer

Upload one photo of your car to Starrd's Roadster Ramp template. It draws your exact car from the back, side and rear three-quarter, then swaps it into the Tesla Roadster ramp stunt: your car climbs the curved ramp, hangs upside down, fires blue thrusters, flips through the air and lands in a cloud of smoke. Any car, truck, SUV or van works, from any angle. 12 seconds, vertical 9:16, 100 credits (about $5).

Your car, on the Tesla Roadster ramp: up the wall, upside down, boosters, flip, smoke. Here's a school bus doing it:

What You Get

  • Your car, exactly. Same make, model, paint, wheels and mods as your photo.
  • The full stunt. The curved ramp, the upside-down climb, blue thrusters, a mid-air flip and a smoky landing.
  • Any vehicle. Sports cars, trucks, SUVs, minivans. A school bus, if you want.
  • 12 seconds, vertical 9:16, ready for TikTok, Reels and Shorts.

How It Keeps Your Car Looking Right

The clip opens on your car from behind. Most car photos are from the front, so the template first draws your exact car from the back, rear three-quarter and side:

One photo becomes a three-view sheet, and the sheet keeps the vehicle consistent through every shot.

Pro Tip

Shoot your car in daylight with the whole thing in frame. Wheels, wraps and body kits all carry over, so show them off.

Ideas That Get Shared

  • The worst possible car. A minivan, a work truck, grandma's sedan. The less it looks like a Roadster, the funnier it is.
  • Your actual car. "Waiting for my Roadster like" hits harder with the car you really drive.
  • Your dream car. Your next build, before you own it.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Tesla Roadster ramp video?

At the Tesla Roadster reveal on October 15, 2026, the car drove up a tall curved ramp, hung upside down at the top, fired thrusters, flipped through the air and landed in a cloud of smoke. The Roadster Ramp template puts your own car through that same stunt.

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 rear first to match the opening shot.

Why does it draw my car from the back?

The video opens on a close-up of the car from behind, at the foot of the ramp. Most people photograph their car from the front, so the template makes a rear, rear three-quarter and side view of your exact car first. That keeps your car looking like itself from the very first frame.

Does it work with trucks, SUVs and vans?

Yes. Anything with four wheels can take the ramp, and the bigger and sillier, the better. Our demo is a full-size school bus.

Does it keep my exact car?

Yes. Make, model, paint, wheels, body kit, wraps and decals all come from your photo.

Is the Tesla Roadster stunt real?

Yes. Tesla filmed the ramp run at the reveal event, and attendees posted their own clips of it. Your version is an AI video, so label it as AI when you post it.

How long is it, and what does it cost?

12 seconds, vertical 9:16, at 480p. It costs 100 credits, about $5.

Can I put my car into a different clip?

Yes. Object Swap lets you upload any video and swap in your own car from a photo.
