Stayin' Alive · Tesla Light Show
by Bee Gees
The Bee Gees' 1977 strut from Saturday Night Fever, at a tempo so steady it is used to teach the rhythm of CPR. The show walks with it: the signature bar re-fires well over once a second with the side markers answering, and it holds one level from the first step to the last. It runs very bright, close to full throughout, so it reads from the far end of the street. Four minutes nine. Disco at its most confident, and the pick that gets grandparents and grandchildren pointing at the sky together.
How this one is choreographed
This is one of the fastest shows in the library: the lights re-fire about 1.1 times a second and rarely sit still. It holds a level: right around 39% of the car stays lit from start to finish, with no single section stealing the show. If you are filming, the fullest ten seconds start at 1:39, when about 43% of the car is lit at once. Most of the work falls on the signature light bar and daytime running lights, re-firing about 1.4 times a second, with the side markers answering back at 1.2. The work is split close to evenly between the two ends, 54% front to 46% rear, so it plays from either end, or side-on from the curb. The quietest part of the car is the brake light, at about 0.5 re-fires a second. It runs 4:09 and averages 94 of 255 across the light channels, a bright show that stays close to full through its busiest passages. About 16% of the light values sit at a partial level, so hits are punctuated by fades rather than being pure on and off. Once it starts there is no full blackout at all: at least one light is on the whole way through.

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.
