01 / THE DESIGN
Built for What’s
Under the Cover.
PATENT PENDING · SEVEN CORE FEATURES
Camera visibility. Charging and zipper access. Ventilation, visible lights and door-ding cushioning. Stable fit and storage, with planned tamper alerts. Seven core features bring one idea together: protection that works with your parked vehicle.
EVERY DETAIL HAS A PURPOSE
01 / 05 THE FITTED SHELL
Not draped. Fitted.
A sculpted cover follows the vehicle’s silhouette. Shaped pocket sleeves fit around each side mirror, helping anchor the cover and improve stability in wind. A secure lower edge completes the fit.

THE DETAILS, AT A GLANCE
Covered.
Still considered.
Explore each detail from a different angle. Swipe on your phone or use the arrows. These design visualizations show the intended features; prototype testing comes next.
Camera Visibility




Reinforced, stitched windows align with the cameras. The first design uses small suction cups around pillar-camera cutouts to grip the glass and help keep wind from shifting the clear window out of alignment. A proposed double-layer hydrophobic treatment aims to shed water and reduce debris buildup.
Water repellency, debris resistance and optical performance to be validated.Access Without Uncovering




Zippered openings are being explored for the driver door, trunk and frunk, keeping everyday access part of the cover design.
Protective backing sits behind the zipper.Room to Breathe



Pre-warm in winter. Pre-cool in summer. Mesh panels are positioned around vehicle vents to support airflow while you prepare the cabin before removing the cover. The goal is everyday comfort with the cover still in place.
Covered preconditioning and heat/AC performance must be validated through thermal and airflow testing.Light, Camera, Action!


When the vehicle activates its security lights, the cover is designed to let that response remain visible to people nearby. Light-transmitting areas at the front and rear aim to let active lights show through, while reflective details add visibility.
Light visibility will be tested; which lights activate depends on the vehicle and its security settings.A Buffer Against Door Dings




Soft protective inserts sit across the middle of the doors, where another car’s door may swing into yours. These bumper guards are designed to cushion that contact while the cover is on, helping reduce dents and door dings.
Insert materials, placement and impact protection will be tested.Secure. Stow. Repeat.




An underside strap and shaped mirror pocket sleeves help stabilize the cover. A planned locking cable threads through reinforced grommets, with tamper alerts intended to notify your phone. An integrated bag keeps storage part of the design.
Locking, alerts and fastening are in development; Tesla app integration is not confirmed.02 / THE IDEA BEHIND OMNI COVER
Protection, With
Presence of Mind.

Why should covering your car mean giving up the features that make it special?
Omni Cover began with the details a conventional cover can overlook: a camera’s view, a clear airflow path, the space a neighboring door needs. EV Bandit brought those everyday moments into a single design.
The original patent drawing captures that first idea. Camera windows, access points and protective panels are placed around the vehicle’s own functions. The next step is to bring those lines into the real world.

Built around what
your vehicle can see.
Our development roadmap begins with Tesla and extends to vehicles with onboard security systems and exterior cameras. We’re exploring vehicle-specific designs across these platforms. These are research targets, not confirmed compatible products or manufacturer partnerships.
Tesla
Sentry Mode uses the vehicle’s cameras to monitor its surroundings while parked. Our roadmap includes every Tesla model.
About the system ↗︎Rivian
Gear Guard and Live Cam bring parked monitoring and remote camera views to supported vehicles. Live Cam requires Connect+.
About the system ↗︎BMW
Anti-Theft Recorder can capture exterior video when the alarm is triggered on suitably equipped vehicles.
About the system ↗︎Mercedes-Benz
GUARD 360° offers parking-damage and theft-related features, including camera imagery on selected equipment and markets.
About the system ↗︎Lucid Gravity
Live View provides remote exterior-camera views; Drive Recorder supports parked collision recording. Availability depends on equipment and software.
About the system ↗︎XPENG
Sentry Mode was introduced with the XOS 5.4 global update to monitor suspicious activity around an unoccupied vehicle.
About the system ↗︎Ford
An accessory Truck Bed Camera supports parked bed viewing on eligible F-150 and Super Duty vehicles with an active security plan.
About the system ↗︎Systems differ by model, market, options and software. Camera coverage, ventilation and charging access must be tested for each Omni Cover variant. This is a selection of major platforms, not an exhaustive compatibility list.

A FEW THINGS TO KNOW
Before You Join.
Is this a finished product?
Omni Cover is currently a pre-prototype concept. The images are AI-generated visualizations of the proposed design, not photographs of a manufactured product. The patent sketch is an original published drawing. Materials, components and final appearance may change.
Which Tesla models will it fit?
Our roadmap spans Model S, Model 3, Model X, Model Y, Cybertruck and Roadster, with vehicle-specific patterns rather than one universal fit. We are exploring other brands with exterior cameras and onboard security. Model Y Juniper is the first visual concept; no fitment is yet validated. Your model year, trim, camera layout and accessories will matter. Suggest your vehicle below.
Could a cover scratch my paint?
Grit between a cover and the paint, or fabric moving in wind, can cause rubbing and scratches. Omni Cover is being developed with a fitted shape, stable attachment points and protected hardware, but it is not scratch-proof. Keep both vehicle and cover clean and dry; never drag a dirty cover across the paint. Paint-contact and abrasion testing are still ahead.
Covercraft: Paint Care ↗︎How will it handle rain, condensation and storage?
Water resistance and breathability must work together. The design includes ventilation and a proposed water-shedding treatment on the camera windows, but that treatment is not a whole-cover waterproof rating. Rain penetration, drying and condensation behavior need testing. Dry the cover fully before storing it; final cleaning instructions will follow material selection.
What keeps the cover and camera windows in place?
Shaped mirror pocket sleeves, an elastic lower edge and underbody straps help stabilize the fit. Small suction cups near the pillar-camera windows are intended to attach to the glass and maintain alignment. Wind resistance, suction retention and compatibility with glass treatments will be tested. No wind-speed rating is confirmed.
Will Sentry Mode still be able to see?
Clear windows are positioned around the exterior cameras to preserve their view while parked. Alignment, reflections, rain, condensation and night-time clarity must be tested before Sentry compatibility can be confirmed. The cover does not enable Sentry Mode or eliminate its battery use. Remove the cover before driving or moving the vehicle.
Tesla: Sentry Mode ↗︎Can I charge with the cover on?
A dedicated flap gives access to the port, and ventilation is part of the design. Access alone does not establish safe charging: clearance, airflow and temperatures still need validation. Tesla specifies a Tesla-approved cover when plugged in. Omni Cover is not currently Tesla-approved, and covered charging is not yet a confirmed use.
Tesla: Car Cover Guidance ↗︎Can I warm or cool the cabin before uncovering?
That is the aim: pre-warm in winter or pre-cool in summer while the cover is still on, then remove it before departure. Mesh panels are intended to preserve airflow for the vehicle’s thermal system. Heating, air conditioning and preconditioning with the cover fitted must be tested before EV Bandit can recommend that use.
Tesla: Preconditioning ↗︎Will the bumper guards prevent every door ding?
The soft inserts sit across the middle of the doors to cushion contact from a neighboring car’s opening door. Protection will depend on impact force, contact height, coverage and the final material. The aim is to reduce door-ding damage, not guarantee against every impact. There is no confirmed hail or collision rating.
How easy will it be to put on and take off?
Mirror sleeves provide orientation, access zippers reduce the need to remove the entire cover for small tasks, and an integrated bag is part of the design. One-person fitting time, packed size, weight and the wet-weather routine will be measured with the prototype. No quick-fit time or machine-washable claim is confirmed yet.
Will tamper alerts require an app or subscription?
The planned locking cable and mechanism at the grommets are intended to detect interference and send a phone alert. Connectivity, battery life, required app, any subscription costs and Tesla app integration are not finalized. These details and any optional hardware will be confirmed before paid pre-orders open.
Is the waitlist free, and when will pre-orders open?
The founding waitlist is free. No card or payment is required, and joining does not place an order or lock a price. Our target founding price is $199, with planned retail pricing of $349. Paid pre-orders will open after prototype validation and a manufacturing plan support a delivery estimate. We will email the waitlist when those details are ready.
What will I know before I pay?
The confirmed contents of your order, compatible fitment, included or optional electronics, development status, delivery estimate, shipping and tax charges, cancellation/refund terms and warranty will be available before checkout opens. A pre-order is a product purchase, not an equity investment. EV Bandit will explain what remains subject to development.
What is the patent status?
The public reference is US patent application publication US20250319757A1, titled “Car cover”. This page references the published application and does not claim an issued patent.
