Poker Face · Tesla Light Show
by Lady Gaga
Lady Gaga's 2008 number one, with the stuttering hook everyone can spell. The show puts the sparkle around the car rather than at the front: the side markers lead with the signature bar answering, busy and even, and it builds through the run, the final third clearly the fullest. It sits on the brighter side of the catalog, just under four minutes. A dance-floor pick that works for a birthday, a New Year's party, or any night the driveway needs to feel like a club with better parking.
How this one is choreographed
This is a busy show. The lights re-fire about 1.0 times a second, near the top of what the catalog runs. It builds. The car runs about 32% of its lights through the opening third and finishes near 41%, so the biggest picture is the one you end on. If you are filming, the fullest ten seconds start at 1:53, when about 44% of the car is lit at once. Most of the work falls on the side markers, re-firing about 1.1 times a second, with the signature light bar and daytime running lights answering back at 1.1. About 55% of the re-firing happens at the front of the car, so park with the nose toward the audience. The quietest part of the car is the brake light, at about 0.6 re-fires a second. It runs 3:57 and averages 82 of 255 across the light channels, a bright show that stays close to full through its busiest passages. About 18% 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 0.8 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.
