Strobe · Tesla Light Show
by deadmau5
Deadmau5's 2009 progressive house classic, a track named after a light effect, which makes it an obvious pick here. This is the radio edit, so the famously long original build is trimmed to three and a half minutes. The show leans on swells, with about three in ten light values sitting at a partial level, the brake light leading and the tail lights answering, and the brightest stretch comes in the middle as the melody opens up. Mid-brightness overall. Best watched from a distance, all the way through.
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. The peak is in the middle third, where roughly 43% of the car is lit against 34% at the top, then it eases back for the finish. Most of the work falls on the brake light, re-firing about 1.5 times a second, with the tail lights answering back at 1.4. It runs 3:32 and averages 69 of 255 across the light channels, a mid-brightness show, with real headroom kept in reserve for the peaks. About 29% of the light values are partial, toward the top of the range for this catalog, so the show leans on swells and dimming as much as on hits.
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.
