What people mean by a Roadster AI video
The Roadster demo was filmed as a wide shot at a SpaceX test site in McGregor, Texas: the car climbed a tall curved ramp, launched on cold-gas thrusters and flipped before landing. Within a day people were posting AI versions in which their own car made the jump, and searching for a way to make one. That is what almost everyone typing “Roadster AI video” is after: their own vehicle in the stunt, in a clip they can post.
What the Flying Car AI version shows
Every video follows the same 10 seconds. Your car drives up the curved ramp from the ground, comes off the top, stops and hovers in mid-air, then sinks down on downward jets and lands in a burst of smoke, in a newly rendered night scene. The frame is 16:9 like the original demo clip, at about 1280×720, and there is no audio track, so you can add an engine sound or the trending audio where you post it.
How it differs from the real Roadster demo
- The real car flipped in the air; the AI video stops in a hover and lands on jets instead, which keeps your car’s shape readable from start to finish.
- The scene is rendered from a black-and-white motion template: no Tesla footage, logos or branding appear in the result.
- Your photo sets the body shape, the paint colour and the wheels. Results vary, so check the real examples on the homepage before you buy.
- It is an AI video, not a stunt your car can do. Label it as AI-generated where you share it.
Make one in three steps
- Pick one photo Use a photo you took of your own car, bike or van: the whole vehicle and every wheel in frame, from the side or at a three-quarter angle.
- Upload and confirm Add the photo in the studio on the homepage and tick the box confirming that you may use it.
- Launch and download Select Launch my car, wait a few minutes and download the 10-second widescreen MP4. A single video is $4.99 (40 credits).
Which cars come out best
Saturated colours such as red, yellow or blue come through the night scene better than white, which can come out dark. A car photographed side-on keeps its length through the climb, and motorbikes and vans work too. The photo guide on this site covers framing, angle and light in more detail.
