Photo requirements for Flying Tesla Roadster AI Video

• Face to the camera, sharp and well lit, no sunglasses. Your face shows large in the first shot, through the open car window, so make it a clear one.
• Head and shoulders or waist up works best. You keep the clothes from your photo.
• One person per photo, so the AI picks the right face.
• The car photo: the whole vehicle in daylight, from the back or a back corner, because the boosters fire under the rear bumper. Any car, truck or van works. Badges and number plates come out blank.
• Parking spot, Tunnel wall and Paris street: just the whole car, sharp, in daylight, best from the side or a back corner. No person needed.
