Centuries · Tesla Light Show
by Fall Out Boy
The "du-du-du" chant hook gets stomped out across the front of the car, verse energy stays coiled, and each chorus hits arena-sized. Underneath all of it is a Suzanne Vega sample, the sort of thing you notice once and then cannot unhear. This is a bright show, averaging close to full across the light channels, and it holds that level start to finish rather than building to anything. The side markers and tail lights carry it. Big, simple, loud in the best way, and impossible to miss from a block away.
How this one is choreographed
The lights re-fire about 0.8 times a second, a middle pace that tracks the beat without crowding it. It holds a level: right around 39% of the car stays lit from start to finish, with no single section stealing the show. The fullest ten seconds arrive late, starting at 3:11 with about 44% of the car lit, so keep the camera rolling to the end. Most of the work falls on the side markers, re-firing about 0.9 times a second, with the tail lights answering back at 0.9. The work is split close to evenly between the two ends, 49% front to 51% rear, so it plays from either end, or side-on from the curb. The quietest part of the car is the inner main beams, at about 0.4 re-fires a second. It runs 3:48 and averages 92 of 255 across the light channels, a bright show that stays close to full through its busiest passages. About 17% of the light values sit at a partial level, so hits are punctuated by fades rather than being pure on and off. It never goes completely dark for long: the longest gap is 0.6 of a second, just before the close.
Measured from the exported light sequence for this show, not estimated from the song.
Get it for your Tesla
This show downloads for every Tesla: Model 3, Model Y, Model S, Model X, and Cybertruck. Preview it on your model with the View-on picker above, add it to your library, and it re-tailors to your car's lights automatically.
How to play it on your car
- Open the show above and add it to your library (remix it in the builder first if you want).
- Add your own copy of the song: an MP3/WAV you own. We distribute only the light pattern, never audio.
- Export the
.fseqbuilt for your model, then place your song next to it (or let the one-click USB writer do both). - Put both files in a
LightShowfolder on a USB drive. Or skip the manual steps: in Chrome/Edge, click 🔌 Write it to my USB drive for me right after exporting and we do it all, verified byte-for-byte. Then plug in and start it from Toybox → Light Show. Full walkthrough in the setup guide.
Car says Light Show instead of Custom Light Show, or the drive is not detected at all? That is the USB format, the folder name, or filenames that do not match. If it plays but drifts out of time, that is the audio sample rate. Fix both here.
