Tesla’s 2021 holiday software update started rolling out with firmware version 2021.44.25 (and beyond) earlier this week, bringing V11.0 of the User Interface (UI) and in-car software, as well as new features and some holiday cheer.
One of the new additions in this update is the ‘Light Show’ feature that was added to the Toybox — Tesla’s collection of fun, quirky gimmicks and features available in its cars. According to release notes, Light Show will let your “Tesla dance to a choreographed light show any time of the year.”
In a tweet earlier today, Tesla confirmed that the Light Show feature could be used to create custom shows and make its cars dance to tunes of your choosing.

In a video shared alongside the tweet, the company demonstrated a Tesla performing a light show to go along with an instrumental metal cover of Carol of the Bells.
The feature can be used to make a Tesla dance to basically any song, and the company went on to share the open-source software you can use to program light shows into your Tesla, available (along with a user guide) over on GitHub.
The software supports the Model 3, Model Y, Model S (2021+), and Model X (2021+) vehicles running software V11.0 (2021.44.25) or newer.
