The annual event brings Tesla owners from across Europe together for a light and drone show. All Tesla owners from across the continent of Europe are welcome, but those with a Model S or X could only participate if the Tesla was produced after 2022.
This year, the organisers were aiming for a world record and that was an attempt that met with success. Some 1,150 Teslas had registered for the event at the Droneport airstrip in Sint-Truiden.
‘Each car participating in the light show was given a unique USB stick, so that the car knows perfectly when which lights should be on,’ co-organiser Sven van Passel of Electrify Europe explains. ‘In that way you get a synchronised light and drone show, a real spectacle in other words. The show was created by renowned light artist Simon Pollock.’
Tesla also arranged for 3 cyber-trucks to participate in the world record.
Previous world record
The previous world record was set in South Korea. 952 Teslas gathered for a light show. The European record was held by Finland, where 902 Teslas took part.
