Background
The demo behind the Tesla Roadster trend
On October 15, 2026, Elon Musk showed the new Tesla Roadster at SpaceX's test facility in McGregor, Texas. With nobody inside, the car drove up a curved ramp, hung upside down using suction from fans underneath, then launched and rotated on compressed-air thrusters before landing. Tesla called it a production-intent prototype, with production planned for 2028.
Many viewers thought the footage was AI. Within a day, TikTok creators made it AI on purpose: clips captioned “Day 1 of owning a Tesla Roadster” showed the car taking off from traffic jams, police roadblocks and parking spots, with the owner panicking in the cabin.

FAQ
Tesla Roadster AI FAQ
What is the Tesla Roadster AI trend?
+
It's a TikTok trend from October 2026. After Tesla showed the new Roadster flipping in mid-air, people started posting AI clips captioned “Day 1 of owning a Tesla Roadster”, where the car lifts off with them inside. The most-viewed ones are filmed from a wide-angle camera in the cabin as the car climbs into the sky, and that is the version we make.
Is the flying Tesla Roadster real or AI?
+
Both exist. The October 15, 2026 demo was real: a driverless Roadster at SpaceX's McGregor, Texas site drove up a ramp, held itself upside down with fans and flipped using compressed-air thrusters. The “Day 1” videos with people inside are AI-generated.
How do I make a Tesla Roadster AI video?
+
Upload one photo on this page and hit Generate. We use the “Day 1” template clip as the reference video and put your photo in the driver's seat, so there's no prompt to write and nothing to edit. The clip's audio is already on it.
What AI is used for the flying Tesla videos?
+
Most are made with video models such as Seedance, Kling or Veo, either from a prompt or by recasting an existing clip. MakeMeme uses ByteDance's Seedance 2.5 in edit mode on the template clip, in vertical 9:16 at 480p, 720p or 1080p.
Can my dog drive the Roadster?
+
Yes. The replacement keeps your pet's own look and body in the driver's seat. Use a clear photo where the face and shoulders are visible.
How much does it cost?
+
Each video costs 70 credits at 480p, 150 at 720p or 360 at 1080p, and failed videos are refunded automatically. Most videos are ready in a few minutes, and we email you when yours is done.
What resolution is the Tesla Roadster AI video, and how many credits does it cost?
+
You choose before you generate: 70 credits at 480p, 150 at 720p or 360 at 1080p. Every resolution gives the same 15-second vertical 9:16 video; higher resolutions are sharper. Failed videos are refunded automatically.
Only upload photos of yourself or of people who have agreed to be in your video. Photos of public figures are rejected. MakeMeme isn't affiliated with Tesla or SpaceX.
