Title: Tesla Light Show: Custom Show Creation
Post by: TeslaBC on December 24, 2021, 10:50:33 AM

Hey xLights Users,

We're the Tesla Body Controls Firmware Team; we?re the folks that make electronic features on Teslas open, close, move, light up, etc!

We created the Tesla Light Show feature for Software V11.0.
Blog (https://www.tesla.com/blog/introducing-software-v11-0), Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/p/CX3zNwGh_Xj/)

For Light Show, we've also created a way for *anyone* to create their own Light Shows, no Tesla vehicle required. Shows are created using xLights, free open-source software.
See this Tweet (https://mobile.twitter.com/Tesla/status/1474419497834586115)

We wanted to post here as we really appreciate the xLights software and we built this feature on top of this platform.

Check out our documentation:

Not sure if you've seen this, but Electrek is crediting Tesla for creating xLights:

https://electrek.co/2021/12/24/tesla-releases-rare-blog-v11-holiday-update-surprise-non-owners/

"But the feature is actually also available to non-Tesla vehicle owners as Tesla released it as a new open-source software called xLights. Anyone can use the feature to create a light show and upload it to their car."


Could you maybe clarify on the Github page that xLights was not created by you?

I've reached out to provide that clarification.

We appreciate the work that has going into creating xLights and the community around it.
