What has to existbefore any of this is real.
6 of 7 documents are still outstanding. We publish this rather than hide it, because the honest answer to "what stage is this at" is a list of what does not exist yet.
Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD)
Not yet preparedThe document federal law requires be given to a prospective franchisee before anything is signed or paid. Twenty-three items covering fees, obligations, restrictions, litigation, and the people running the company.
Why it matters: Without it, a franchise cannot lawfully be offered or sold anywhere in the United States. It is the gate everything else waits behind.
Franchise agreement
Not yet preparedThe contract itself: term, renewal, territory if any, fees, standards, transfer and termination.
Why it matters: It is attached to the FDD as an exhibit. Its terms are what the FDD describes, so the two are written together.
State franchise registrations
Not yet preparedA number of states require the FDD to be filed and reviewed before a franchise may be offered to anyone in that state.
Why it matters: It is why a market appearing on our list is not the same as a market being open. Registration states have their own timelines.
Audited financial statements
Not yet preparedAudited statements for the franchisor entity, included in the FDD.
Why it matters: A prospective franchisee is entitled to see the financial position of the company they would be signing with.
Trademark registration
In preparationFederal registration of the brand a franchisee would operate under, in the classes covering vehicle wrap services and franchise services.
Why it matters: A franchise licenses a mark AND a prescribed operating system, which is what makes it a franchise rather than a name license. The FDD must state the mark’s registration status, and an unregistered mark is a disclosed risk the franchisee carries. The specifics, which a prospective franchisee should hear before anything else: the application for TESLAWRAPPER was filed on 7 September 2026 under serial 50093705 in International Class 037, it is pending, and no clearance opinion was obtained before filing. Tesla, Inc. holds federal registrations in that same Class 037 — maintenance and repair services for automobiles — which is the class a vehicle wrap franchise operates in, so a refusal under §2(d) is the expected first office action, and Tesla, Inc. may oppose or sue whatever the USPTO decides. Class 035, where franchise services sit, has not been filed at all. Registration of a TeslaWrapper mark in that class is therefore not assured, and we are not going to describe it as a formality. The brand is used as TeslaWrapper™ rather than ®, the site disclaims any affiliation with Tesla, Inc., and the separately owned AutoWrap marks are registered and are the fallback the franchise program would be built on if the primary mark cannot be secured. What that means for a franchisee — signage, domain, accumulated goodwill, and any right to continue trading under the name — is a question for counsel and for the FDD, and it should be answered in writing before anybody signs anything.
Operations manual
In preparationThe written method: installation, intake, inspection, scheduling, payment and standards.
Why it matters: It is the thing being licensed alongside the name, and the reason a second location can produce the same result as the first.
Website terms and privacy policy
AvailableThe terms governing use of this site and how information submitted through it is handled.
Why it matters: They apply to the interest form on this page as they do to every other form on the site.
Territory: what we intend, and what is not decided
Territory is a term of a franchise agreement. There is no franchise agreement, so there is no territory arrangement — nothing is available, nothing is reserved, and nothing can be purchased. What follows is what we intend, written down so it can be argued with, not a term anyone can rely on.
The intent is that an approved location has a defined market it is responsible for, that we do not approve a second location inside it while it is performing, and that inbound demand from that market is routed to it. That is a design intention about how a network should work, and it is not a promise of exclusivity.
- How a territory is defined — intended: Some stated geography — radius, counties or postal codes — rather than a handshake.. Not decided.
- Whether it is exclusive — intended: Protection while a location is meeting the standard and the market is being served.. Not decided.
- How long it lasts — intended: Tied to the term of the agreement rather than granted indefinitely.. Not decided.
- What happens when a market outgrows one location — intended: A path that is written down in advance instead of negotiated in a dispute.. Not decided.
- Whether a second location can be earned — intended: Considered case by case, never automatic.. Not decided.
Anyone offering you a TeslaWrapper territory today — reserved, protected or for sale — is offering something that does not exist. There is no Franchise Disclosure Document, so there is nothing that could lawfully be sold.
This information is not an offer to sell, or the solicitation of an offer to buy, a franchise. A franchise may only be offered by a Franchise Disclosure Document, and in registration states only after filing. No financial performance representation is made anywhere on this site.
