- groone 5y agoWaste of resources is how other car companies get attention of potential customers.
- mensetmanusman 5y agoAdding some joy to the world is not necessary a waste of resources.
- hutzlibu 5y agoI very much agree, but I still would like to add, that not everyone enjoys light pollution ...
- MattRix 5y agowhat does light pollution have to do with any of this?
- hutzlibu 5y agoBlinking lights are a joy for many on christmas, for others, it is merely annoying light pollution.

- shepherdjerred 5y agoWhat percentage of the world’s light pollution do you suppose will come from this feature?
- hutzlibu 5y agoNot much, I still just wanted to raise attention to the fact, that not everyone feels like more blinking lights are "Adding some joy to the world" for everyone. I mean, do you enjoy blinking banners on websites? I doubt it. Well, blinking lights in real life are pretty much the same to me. They either are important, like sirens - or they are noise to me and actually quite a lot of other people. But you have fun with your toy in the spirit that you will add joy to the world.
- joshgachnang 5y agoIt's a good marketing stunt for a company that doesn't have traditional PR/marketing. And curious how some pre-recorded flashing lights and opening hatches will inevitably "go wrong".

- razemio 5y agoI can‘t stand this attitude of yours. Not everything needs to be efficient, has to have a goal, make money or make sense. Have fun for once and put that capitalism brain aside for just 2 seconds.
- unbanned 5y agoYou don't have to. Just collapse the comment and move on.
- Agent766 5y agoThis was probably used internally to develop the built in light show, so open sourcing it wouldn't take much work and could generate some new PR buzz.
- halfmatthalfcat 5y agoOh lighten up…Tesla is pumping out a ton of value already.
- vmception 5y agoTesla has 70,000 fulltime employees and this repo has 2 contributors. It is impossible for this to be a tremendous waste of resources even if this was the only thing those employees did for the company. Its a rounding error.
