Kickstart My Heart · Tesla Light Show
by Mötley Crüe
Mötley Crüe's 1989 speed anthem opens with a guitar impersonating a revving motorcycle, and it never really takes its foot off the gas. The show is one of the brightest in the catalog, averaging close to full, with the tail lights leading and the side markers answering at a steady, driving pace. It holds one level rather than climbing, so there is no slow start to sit through. Four minutes forty-three of full-throttle hair metal, best run with the whole street watching from as far away as they like.
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 43% of the car stays lit from start to finish, with no single section stealing the show. Most of the work falls on the tail lights, re-firing about 1.0 times a second, with the side markers answering back at 0.9. It runs 4:43 and averages 104 of 255 across the light channels, a bright show that stays close to full through its busiest passages. The values are mostly hard on or hard off, only about 13% of samples sitting at a partial level, which reads sharp and percussive from across a parking lot.
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.
