What is new in FrunkLab

A public changelog

This page. Everything that ships gets a dated entry here in plain words, so you can see what changed without reading release notes. The footer and the Resources menu link it.

The AI assistants page is easier to find, and a phone-first upload guide

The page explaining how to use FrunkLab from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or Claude Code now sits in the Resources menu and the footer, and answers the questions people actually ask. A new guide walks the whole wrap workflow from a phone: design, download, upload from the Tesla app, apply in Paint Shop, no computer anywhere in it.

AI assistantsThe phone guide

Shareable hero shots and comment replies

Every wrap with a 3D preview now offers three ready-to-post stills at 2560x1440: front, front three-quarter and rear three-quarter. They render on the gallery page and in your Design Hub, so every existing wrap gets them. Comments on gallery wraps can be replied to, and the wrap owner and the person you replied to get a notification. The Download Reel lost its floor grid and sits a little lower, so it reads as a product shot rather than a bird’s-eye pass.

Free melody and voice lock chimes, every day

The lock chime generator has three engines. Melody makes a short synthesized jingle. Voice speaks the words you put in quotes, in six styles. Both are free on every plan, 5 a day. Sound-effect chimes (doors, engines, cash registers) stay on the monthly allowance. A Try-as row re-runs your prompt on another engine.

Use FrunkLab from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and Claude Code

FrunkLab has a remote MCP server. Connect it once, sign in with your FrunkLab account (or a personal API key from your account page), and your assistant can design a wrap, make a lock chime, search the sound library and browse the gallery. Everything lands in your own account and uses the same monthly allowance as the website.

How to connectStep-by-step tutorial

Model Y AI wraps no longer come back with a black hood

On the pre-2025 Model Y the generator sometimes painted every panel except the hood. The checks that run on each result now catch a single blank panel and quietly try again. Older results keep their hood as generated, so if you have one, hit Regenerate.

A Tesla Paint Shop page, and answers on the homepage

A single page covers what Paint Shop is, Tesla’s file rules (PNG, 1024x1024 or 1024x768 for the Cybertruck, under 1 MB), how to upload from the Tesla app versus USB, and what to do when a wrap is rejected. The homepage now carries the same answers and an FAQ.

Tesla Paint Shop

Live 3D reviewer in the Studio

The Studio’s design step now shows your wrap on a real 3D car that updates as you draw. It sits at the top of the right sidebar by default; drag the header to float it anywhere, or collapse it. The full-screen preview and the scene settings are unchanged.

Open the Studio

AI prompt dock in both editors, and no more invented text

Both editors open with a floating AI prompt panel: type, generate, and the result lands on the canvas and the car. The generator no longer paints captions, numbers or logos unless you put the words in quotes, and a brand name becomes its colors and materials rather than its logo. Saved designs get a title, description and tags at save time, and the suggested lock chimes now match the wrap’s theme.

Confirm your email with a code on the same screen

After signing up you type the 8-digit code from the email right where you are, and land back where you started. The link in the email still works if you prefer it. If you signed up earlier and never confirmed, logging in now shows the same code step.

Homepage rebuilt around the studio, every generation in the 3D hero

The 3D hero now has a tab for each generation, including Model S and Model X. Pick your model on the homepage and you land straight in the studio on that car. The menu is five entries instead of eight, and on phones the gallery’s download button sits within the first screen.

AI wraps no longer render squished

A small share of generations came back the wrong shape and were stretched onto the template. The output shape is now pinned to your model’s template and checked before it reaches you. Older results you re-apply from My Generations are fitted instead of stretched.

Design from your phone

On a phone the Studio opens with a prompt instead of a canvas. Describe the wrap, pick a style, and see it on the spinning 3D car. Save it to My Designs, try again, or open the full editor to fine-tune.

Try it on your phone

Bigger uploads save, and the editors fit 14-inch laptops

A large photo no longer trips the design-too-large error: images are sized to what the template can show, and transparent stickers stay crisp. On 1280x720 screens the Studio toolbox no longer clips its last tools, and the Garage panels no longer overlap. Gallery thumbnails auto-fit the car, and hovering a card shows the flat wrap file.

Model S and Model X get 3D, and every car gets wheels

The whole fleet moved to new 3D models. Model S and Model X preview in 3D for the first time, in the studio, the Garage, the gallery and the showcase. Every 3D preview, thumbnail and reel now has wheels, with a picker in the Garage.

Emails show your wrap

The approval email and the new-design email carry your wrap on the 3D car, with a link to it. Approved designs also get a four-angle showcase card. Sign-in and password emails stay image-free on purpose.

My Chimes and community chimes

Every chime you generate is kept in My Chimes with a shareable name. Submit one to the community, and once approved it plays on the Lock Sounds page and your creator profile. Attach any chime to a wrap from the Garage or the Design Hub, and the generator is right there in both attach flows.

Lock Sounds

AI lock chime generator, and free wrap pages by model

Describe a sound and download a Tesla-ready LockChime.wav, under 5 seconds and under 1 MB. Put words in quotes and the chime speaks them. Free wrap collections now have their own pages for the Model 3, Model Y and Cybertruck, each with style sub-pages.

AI token packs

One-time top-ups of 10, 25, 60 or 400 generations. Tokens never expire, work on every plan including Free, and are spent only after your monthly allowance runs out. No subscription needed.

Billing shows what happens next

Your account page shows the renewal date, whether the plan cancels at the end of the period, and a notice if a payment failed, with a grace period before anything changes. Plan switches happen in the billing portal.

Download Reel: a 6-second looping MP4

One click on the Design Hub gives you a 1080x1080 MP4 of your wrap on the rotating 3D car. The camera walks exactly one full turn, so the loop has no seam when it autoplays on X.

Creator profiles at frunklab.com/@handle

Every designer gets a public profile with their approved wraps, a featured wrap on the 3D car, a bio and an X link. Follow creators, browse the directory, and switch the gallery to Following. Profiles are on by default and can be made private from your account.

Paint and erase directly on the 3D car

With the Brush selected in the Garage, strokes land on the car itself and mirror onto the blueprint. Both erasers work the same way. Each stroke is one undo step.

Open the Garage

Editor upgrade: My Generations, smart guides, magic eraser, layers

Every AI image you generate is kept in a My Generations library you can re-apply for free. Objects snap to smart guides, align and distribute in one step, and group with Ctrl+G. The magic eraser gained feathering and despeckle with a live preview. An eyedropper samples colors from the canvas or the 3D car, with saved swatches.

Lock chimes in the Garage

Attach a lock chime from the Garage’s right rail, browse and preview the whole library, and it saves with the wrap. The audio library is now called Lock Sounds, and the install steps say the right thing: LockChime.wav at the root of the drive, turned on under Controls, Locks.

Garage overhaul: fan-out vehicle picker, brighter boot

The Garage starts on a light grey car instead of black, and the vehicle picker fans every model out on an arc from a card at the bottom of the screen. Panels got a sharper look, and Create Another returns you to whichever editor you used last.

The Garage: a 3D-first wrap editor

Design on the live 3D car. Click a panel to place text or a sticker and it rotates to read upright on that panel; drag it along the body; switch between Showroom, Night and Neon scenes. Browse community wraps and see each one on your own car before you customize it. Garage and Studio designs are fully interchangeable.

Open the Garage

Save goes straight to your Design Hub

Save Design no longer opens a form. Your design is saved, named by AI in the background, and opened on its own page where title, description, scene and lock chime autosave as you edit. Submit to the gallery from there. A design you start signed out survives signing in.

The gallery opens with the 3D showcase

The community gallery starts with the same live 3D car as the homepage, cycling real wraps. Collapse it and it stays collapsed on your next visit.

Gallery

Homepage 3D wrap showcase

The homepage leads with a rotating 3D Tesla wearing real gallery wraps, with a stage switcher (Showroom, Void, Grid) and a glitch transition between wraps. Pick a family and flip through the best designs for it.

Reference images in the AI generator, and downloads from My Designs

Add up to three reference images alongside your prompt and the generator works them into the wrap, faces and all. Any design in My Designs can be downloaded as a Paint Shop file, whatever its status, without submitting it to the gallery.

News, tutorials, guides and blog

Four content sections with an RSS feed, starting with 22 posts: step-by-step tutorials with real screenshots, reference guides, Tesla news with a wrap angle, and founder posts.

Model S, Model X and Model Y L join the studio

Tesla’s official templates for the Model S (original and Plaid), the Model X and the six-seat Model Y L are in the studio, with save, review and gallery support. Their 3D previews followed in August.

Downloads always under Tesla’s 1 MB limit

Photo-heavy wraps used to export over 1 MB and get rejected by the car. Every download now steps down its resolution until the file fits, so it is always accepted.

Forgot password, password changes, and support tickets

Reset a forgotten password with a code sent by email, change it from your account page, and set one on a Google-only account. A support form on the account page opens a ticket you can follow up on.

Keyboard shortcuts, eraser tools and flip tools

V, B, G and E switch tools, Ctrl+Z and Ctrl+Y walk the history, and Delete removes the selection. A basic eraser and a magic eraser that removes a color region joined the toolbox, along with horizontal and vertical flip.

AI tagging and prompt enhancement

Saved designs are tagged automatically so the gallery filters and the matching lock sounds find them. An Enhance button rewrites a short prompt into a fuller brief before generating.

3D preview

See your design on a rotating 3D model of your exact Tesla before you export. What you draw on the hood in 2D is on the hood in 3D, and the same for every panel.

AI wrap generation

Describe a wrap and the generator paints it onto your model’s template, aware of which areas are glass and which are body. Three free generations a month on every account.

Lock sounds library, and plans

A library of Tesla lock chimes and Boombox sounds with tag-based discovery, matched to wraps by theme. Plans launched as Free, Minimum ($5), Plus ($10) and Pro ($15), with the paid tiers buying more AI generations and everything else free.

Color and gradient fills, consolidated toolbar

Solid, linear and radial fills with the Tesla paint palette, a toolbar with expandable tool groups, and a translucent overlay outside the car so objects stay visible while you position them.
