Practical details

Register your car in advance

We invite every Tesla owner to participate in the light show—everyone is welcome, and there is no entry fee. However, your must register your car beforehand.

 

Charge your car (!)

We are expecting potentially over 1000 electric cars. On-site, there will be no access to public charging infrastructure. While we do have a limited amount of mobile chargers available, these are strictly reserved for special guests or emergencies.

Most Teslas can easily drive 300-400km on a single charge, so please ensure your car is fully charged before you leave home. If you need to travel over 300km round trip from your home, Tesla Superchargers are available in Hasselt (Corda), Heusden-Zolder, and Liège. However, please be aware that these locations may be very busy on the day of the event.

 

Navigate to ‘Brustem Industriepark’

In your navigation app, please search for ‘Brustem Industriepark’ or ‘Lichtenberglaan Sint-Truiden’. Once you approach the industry park, follow the road signs toward the roundabout with Lichtenberglaan and N3, marked by a prominent red Fouga Magister airplane in the center. This roundabout will be the only entrance for all participants and visitors.

 

Please arrive between 15h and 17h

The gate to the airstrip opens at 15:00 and closes at 18:00. Please arrive between 15:00 and 17:00 so we can line up and program all vehicles in time for the show, which begins at 19:00. While you wait, you can enjoy the drivers village, where we’ve arranged some activities to keep you entertained.

 

Stick to the houserules

Once you enter the lineup area on the DronePort runway, please strictly follow these rules:

  • Speed limit: 15 km/h
  • Stay in line: No overtaking
  • No littering or damaging

Safety is our top priority. Any violation of these rules may result in immediate exclusion from the event. Participating to the event and driving on the runway is at own risk.

    Follow parking attendants’ instructions

    Parking attendants will guide you to your spot in the lineup. Please follow their instructions closely.

     

    Walk to the drivers village

    After your vehicle has been parked, please walk to the drivers village via the side of the runway. Avoid walking between cars to prevent accidents. Food trucks and entertainment (for both adults and children) will be available. This event is organized by non-profit organizations, so your support is greatly appreciated. Instead of bringing your own food or drinks, please consider purchasing refreshments on-site, this helps us cover costs of this free event. The event will be cashless, and all food and drinks will be served on reusable cups and plates. Don’t drink and drive.

     

    1 person returns to the car to configure the light show

    Due to software limitations in Tesla vehicles, the show can only be programmed up to 10 minutes in advance. Therefore, one person per car must return to their vehicle when signaled by the event organizer. A USB stick will be placed behind your windshield wiper. Retrieve the USB stick, insert it into your car’s Sentry port (USB-A port, typically located in the glove box), and program the show to begin at the time specified by the organizer. Do not leave your vehicle until a parking attendant has verbally confirmed that your car has been correctly configured. If you encounter any issues, use your hazard lights to request assistance.

    >> INSTRUCTION VIDEO <<

    Return to the drivers village ASAP

    For safety reasons, all participants must remain in the drivers village during the show. Once your car has been successfully configured (and this has been confirmed by a parking attendant), return to the drivers village as soon as possible. Because we built in an additional margin of 20 minutes ‘silent show’, you will have approximately 30 minutes to configure your vehicle and make your way back. Please note that if you arrived later than most cars, the walking distance to the drivers village may be significant, so plan accordingly.

    Experience a stunning, perfectly synchronized light show celebrating electric mobility, autonomous technology, and clean transportation.

     

    Return to your car and exit the site

    After the show, you will have time to finish your drink or food, or pick up something to take away for the road, and then walk back to your car. To help prevent accidents while maneuvering between parked and moving vehicles, we will start the exit procedure around 20:00, provided we can maintain the planned schedule. Because it will be dark, we strongly recommend wearing some kind of visibility lighting.

    Please note: any cars not moved by 23:00 will be towed away to prepare the airstrip for the following day’s aviation activities. Towing costs will be charged to the owner of the vehicle.
