Why is Sign In Required?
Hey, it's Dario — the developer of Tesla Wrap.
I want to be transparent about why we require sign-in to use the AI generation feature.
Every AI generation runs on a state-of-the-art image model, and each image has a real computational cost. Your account includes a free credit so you can try it before deciding to buy more.
A sign-in is required so the free credit goes to real people exactly once — without it, the free allocation would be drained by abuse within hours and the service couldn't stay available for everyone.
After your free credit, generating more designs requires credits. Credits are what keep the AI generator running — they pay for the compute behind every image you create.
Browsing, downloading, and sharing wrap designs stays completely free. This is a passion project built by one person, and the credit system is what makes the AI part sustainable.
