The last Tesla update sent at Christmas gave the whole range the opportunity to also shine with a light show common to all models: Model S (2021), Model 3, Model X (2021) and Model Y. C ‘ is the “S3XY light show”, as Tesla calls it on his Youtube video.
The realization is always well done, and even if the surprise effect is perhaps less than in 2016 (when it appeared on the Model X), it is a gadget that we appreciate. Who knows, maybe it will be a way of nailing the beak to the anti-electric car uncle who will have drunk you through all the parties that ” the automobile was better before “.
It must be said that the front lights which project a “Tesla” written in full, thanks to LED technology, enough to disconcert those who have remained with the old generation automobile.

These light shows can last up to 5 minutes, however they are limited to 681 commands. They are therefore often shorter, but more spectacular. Some already seem to have found the inspiration for a rather convincing result. Here are some examples :
Youtube, TikTok and Twitter are seeing more and more videos of light shows and personalized light shows. The buzz effect of this new update will probably make us overdose quickly, especially after the excitement of the novelty and the first 50 videos on the subject have passed.
