What photo the Tesla Roadster AI Video Generator needs
The Tesla Roadster AI Video Generator does not use the same photo for every scene. Some clips replace a driver. Some replace the car. One scene needs two people. Upload the photo the reference is built to swap.
One adult portrait
Traffic? What Traffic? and City Traffic Escape use a single portrait as the driver. Face, hair, and clothing should be visible. Sunglasses, a hand over the face, or a tiny face in a wide shot give the model too little to keep.
The car, street, and lift stay with the reference video. Your photo is there to replace the person, not to redesign the vehicle.
Two adult portraits
City in Flight shows two people in one cabin: a passenger and a driver. Upload both portraits. One combined photo of two people is not the same as two separate references, so the form asks for two files.
Use only adults who have agreed to appear. The scene includes a cake bursting in the cabin. It is a fictional gag, not a claim that anyone was hurt.
One vehicle or one pet
Roadster Ramp Flip, Your Car vs. Gravity, and Hover Mode keep the uploaded vehicle’s shape, paint, and wheels while the reference supplies the wall, the smoke, or the lift. A clean side or rear three-quarter view works better than a tight crop of a badge.
Pet Goes Pro needs the whole animal: fur, markings, and body. Bike Goes Ballistic can take two rider portraits or one photo of both people together.
