A small shopthat only wraps Teslas.
One vehicle in the bay at a time, in an appointment-only studio in Ashburn, Virginia. Based in Ashburn, Virginia. Built for Tesla owners nationwide.
The person who does the work.
Finishing a Cybertruck front end by hand. The sign on the wall is our earlier name — same people, same bay.
The person who quotes your caris the person who wraps it.
You are about to let someone you have never met take a car worth more than most people’s first vehicle apart, and keep it for two to three days. Everything below is here to answer that, and nothing is here because it looks good on a bio.
The credentials, and what each one means for your car
- He does the installation himselfThere is no dispatcher, no rotating crew and nobody subcontracted without you being told. The hands on your car are the ones you spoke to.
- One vehicle in the bay at a timeYour car is not parked waiting behind three others. It is the only project running, which is why the schedule is measured in days rather than weeks.
- Every panel photographed before anything is touchedThe condition record exists so there is never an argument afterwards about what was already there. You review it before work starts.
- Technology and AI work outside the shopThe documentation, scheduling and quality records this shop runs on are software he wrote. It is why a small shop can hold a record on your car at all.
- Named inventor on issued US patentsThey cover robotic vehicle service and are assigned to AutoWrap Robotics LLC, a separate company. They are not about wrapping your Tesla, and no part of your project depends on them.
- Currently pursuing a Doctorate in Business AdministrationIn progress, not completed — the study is in business strategy, technology and innovation. It shapes how the shop is built rather than how film goes on a panel.
Why this shop is built the way it is
Written standards instead of one installer’s habits
Most wrap shops are one talented installer and a set of habits that live in their head. That works right up until the day it does not, and the customer is the one holding a car with a lifting edge and no record of what was done to it. This shop was built the other way round: written standards, one approved set of films, the same sequence on every vehicle, and a photographic record of each car from intake to handover. It is deliberately slower and deliberately smaller. The point is that the result does not depend on which day of the week your car arrived.
The same panel sequence, the same post-heat, the same ten checks before you see the car — not whatever the day suggested.
3M, Avery Dennison and Paradox. No unbranded film, no marketplace roll, and no substitution to save cost on your car.
Intake condition, the film and batch used, and the handover walk — kept, so a warranty conversation is about evidence rather than memory.
Everything above exists so a second bay would produce the same car as this one. That is the ambition; today it is one studio in Ashburn.
Seven things you can actually check.
Tesla, specifically
Cybertruck, Model 3 and Model Y — not every make that turns up. The three we work on constantly.
Premium materials only
We buy our film through Grimco, an authorized 3M™ and Avery Dennison® distributor. That is where the named series come from — 3M™ Wrap Film Series 2080, 3M™ Protection Wrap Film, Avery Dennison® Supreme Wrapping™ Film SW900, Avery Dennison® Conform Chrome SF100 — and why a quote carries a real product code like HG13, G363, SP273 rather than a color name. Our budget Space Film line is the one exception, and it is sold as-is with no warranty and no published lifespan — we say so on its own page.
Exterior transformation
Color change, protection film and chrome. A narrow menu, done properly — and we say plainly what we do not do.
One vehicle at a time
Your car is the project in the bay, not a slot in a queue.
A controlled installation space
Indoors, gated, camera-monitored, lit for the work and held at temperature.
Our own work, only
Every wrap shown as our work is one we installed. No stock, no renders, no borrowed portfolio. Where a photograph is somebody else’s — a film maker’s own example, a manufacturer’s product shot — the image says so.
Project coordination
Documented at intake, updated by text at real milestones, walked with you in daylight before you take it.
Where the hands-on training came from.
Wrap training attended in person, with the manufacturer and with the distributor we buy film through.

It is one part of the experience, not the whole of it. The work in the gallery is the rest.
These are participation certificates from training courses attended. They are not certifications, accreditation or a qualification, and they do not mean TeslaWrapper is certified, endorsed, authorized by, approved by or partnered with 3M or Grimco. Grimco is the distributor we buy 3M™ and Avery Dennison® film through — a supply relationship, nothing more.
Founded by an inventor.Wrapped by hand.
The patent numbers, and what each one covers
TeslaWrapper was founded by Raoul Shah, named inventor on 4 issued United States patents totaling 62 claims. The numbers are below — they are public documents, so you can read them yourself rather than take our word for it.
- US 12,643,243AutoWrap Robotics: AI platform for automated vehicle surface treatment using humanoid robots
- US 12,649,240AutoWrap Robotics: AI-led platform for automated vehicle treatment using humanoid robots
- US 12,511,598AutoWrap Robotics: humanoid AI for autonomous vehicle service centers
- US 12,507,946AI-driven dermatological imaging and predictive simulation platform for pigment and lesion reduction
These are issued United States patents. No foreign counterparts are claimed.
The patents referenced here are assigned to AutoWrap Robotics LLC, a separate company founded by the same inventor. TeslaWrapper does not own them.
Every vehicle TeslaWrapper installs is wrapped by a person, by hand. The technology below is what AutoWrap Robotics is building — it is not what wraps your car.
Frederick, Maryland. 2024.
Before Ashburn, the shop ran out of Frederick, Maryland from January 2024 to January 2025.
We were wrapping Cybertrucks in the first months they were on the road.
Tesla started putting Cybertrucks in customers’ hands through 2024, and we were among the shops wrapping them from the start — learning those stainless flats and hard folds on real customer vehicles while most shops had never seen one in person.
People drove two hours to get there.
Customers took delivery of their Cybertrucks in Leesburg and Manassas, Virginia, and then drove more than two hours past every wrap shop in Northern Virginia and the DMV to drop them with us in Frederick.
That is the whole argument for this business in one sentence. Nobody drives two hours for a wrap they could get properly done nearby.
You may know us by an older name.
This shop has traded under three names. It started as ModelWrapped, became SpaceShip Wraps, and is now TeslaWrapper — same people, same hands, same bay. A few cars in the gallery still wear an old decal.
The name changed because the work narrowed. We wrap Teslas, almost exclusively, and a name that says so is more use to somebody searching than one that does not.
If you find reviews, photographs or listings under either earlier name, they are ours. We would rather tell you that than have you wonder.
4101 Harvard Place, Unit B, Frederick, MD 21703 — That location is closed. It’s here because it’s checkable, not because you can visit it.
Some of them we met at the Supercharger.
One Cybertruck owner we met while charging in Frederick had driven up from Northern Virginia. He booked the wrap on the strength of a conversation next to a charging stall, and came back when it was time.
That’s our account, not his — his review is below, in his own words.
“I had an overwhelmingly positive experience as a client of Tesla Wrapper. Raoul paid particular attention to my unique request for custom vinyl hood wrapping, and used a masterful artistic eye to make it happen! I’m very impressed with the customer service, pricing, and willingness to customize requests. He went above and beyond what I could’ve hoped for. I would recommend without hesitation for any luxury car owner, especially Tesla owners!”
Jeremie P.
“Met Raoul at a Supercharger and after a brief intro wanted to work with him to wrap my new Cybertruck. Really glad I did and happy with how everything turned out. I will do business again when it’s time and recommend giving him a chance to earn your business. He listens and delivers but best of all stands behind his work.”
Joe C.
Ashburn, Virginia is the studio now — private, appointment only, and the one every car goes to today. Florida is being prepared as a second location and is not open yet. The people who drove two hours to Frederick are the reason we think that model works.
