Tesla USB Wraps folder setup: from file copy to Paint Shop
Set up the drive so Paint Shop can read it: root-level Wraps folder, supported USB format, file placement, and the Toybox -> Paint Shop -> Wraps path.
Last reviewed:
Quick setup
Create Wraps at the USB drive root, not inside TeslaCam or another folder.
Keep the uppercase W and do not translate the folder name.
Use exFAT or FAT32 first; NTFS is not listed as supported.
Insert the drive, then open Toybox -> Paint Shop -> Wraps tab.
Setup steps
Prepare the USB format
Start with exFAT or FAT32. Tesla documentation also lists MS-DOS FAT, ext3, and ext4; NTFS is not currently supported.
- Back up files before formatting.
- Remove map or firmware update files.
- Back up existing files before formatting or reorganizing a USB drive.
Create the Wraps folder
The folder must sit at the USB root and be named Wraps. Do not place it inside Downloads, TeslaCam, or another folder.
- Example path: /Wraps/design.png.
- Use uppercase W.
- Place the downloaded PNG files directly inside it.
Open it in the vehicle
After inserting the USB drive, wait a few seconds, then open Paint Shop from Toybox and switch to the Wraps tab.
- Use the glovebox USB port first.
- Reinsert the drive and wait if the list is empty.
- If it stays empty, follow the troubleshooting checklist.
FAQ
Can Wraps be inside TeslaCam?
No. Put it at the USB drive root, for example /Wraps/your-file.png.
Can I name the folder wraps?
Use Wraps with an uppercase W to match the documented folder name.
Why does the vehicle still not show my file?
Check USB format, folder location, PNG size, filename, and vehicle software, then test another USB drive.
