Ever wished you could switch up your Tesla’s color without a trip to the paint shop? While a physical paint job isn’t possible (yet!), Tesla offers a fun and futuristic way to personalize your ride directly from the touchscreen. Let’s explore how to change your car color on the Tesla screen and add a splash of digital flair to your driving experience.
Navigating the Tesla Touchscreen
The key to unlocking this cool feature lies within your Tesla’s intuitive touchscreen interface. Here’s how to navigate to the color-changing options:
- Tap on the ‘Application Launcher’: This icon, usually located at the bottom of your screen, resembles a series of dots or squares.
- Select ‘Software’: This will take you to a menu where you can manage various aspects of your Tesla’s software and settings.
- Choose ‘Toybox’: Don’t let the name fool you, this section houses some fun customization options for your vehicle.
- Find ‘Car Visualization’: This is where the magic happens. Depending on your Tesla model and software version, this option might be labeled slightly differently.

Selecting Your New Hue
Once you’ve reached the ‘Car Visualization’ menu, you’ll be presented with a digital representation of your Tesla. Here’s how to change its color:
- Pre-set Options: Tesla offers a range of pre-selected colors for you to choose from. Simply tap on the color you like to see it instantly applied to your on-screen Tesla.
- Custom Color Selection (on select models): Some Tesla models might allow you to fine-tune the color even further using a color picker or slider, giving you more control over the exact shade you desire.

Understanding the Limitations
While this feature is a fantastic way to add a personal touch to your Tesla, it’s important to be aware of its limitations:
- Digital Only: This color change is purely visual on your touchscreen and doesn’t affect the actual physical color of your car. Don’t worry, though, your Tesla will still turn heads with its sleek design!
- Software Dependent: The availability and extent of color customization options may vary depending on your Tesla’s software version and model. Make sure to check for any software updates to access the latest and greatest features.
Beyond Color: Exploring Other Fun Features
Tesla’s ‘Toybox’ section often holds other entertaining and customizable options:
- Emissions Testing Mode (aka ‘Fart Mode’): Yes, you read that right! This playful feature allows you to replace your Tesla’s horn or turn signal sounds with a variety of amusing noises, including, well, farts!
- Romance Mode: Set the mood for a romantic drive with a crackling fireplace displayed on your touchscreen, complete with relaxing ambient sounds.
- Traction Control Settings (for snow and off-road): Adjust your Tesla’s traction control settings to optimize performance in challenging driving conditions.
