September Newsletter

Dear Lit Motors Community,


Happy September, and we hope you had a good summer.


This month, we have something a little different to share: a reminder of why efficiency matters when you’re the one paying for the miles, a visit to Actuate, and an Akira-inspired film.




Two coffees = A thousand miles



The disruption around the Strait of Hormuz has brought another part of vehicle ownership back into focus: the cost of getting around. Fuel prices remain elevated.


For the Nexus, our projected cost is $13.50 per 1000 miles. That’s about the price of two coffees for enough driving to get from San Francisco to Los Angeles and back!!


Here’s what we found at the station off Sand Hill Road last week. That $13.50 that takes the Nexus 1000 miles? Here, it buys you two gallons of gas. Don’t even look at the diesel price!



Now we want to see yours. Send us a photo of the gas and diesel prices at your local station!




At Actuate 2026



Danny attended Actuate 2026 in August, joining engineers, founders, and investors working in robotics, autonomy, and physical AI.


Getting software and machinery to respond together is familiar territory at Lit Motors. It’s what allows the Nexus’s sensors, steering, and gyroscopes to work as a balance system. Actuate was an opportunity to share ideas with other builders and learn about the tools they’re developing.





Akira to Reality



The motorcycle in Akira has had an unusually long life for a machine that exists on film. Decades later, its silhouette and the way it moves still make people want to drive something like it.


Our short video, “Akira to Reality,” indulges that wish. Those of you who follow our engineering updates know how much attention goes into the controls, steering, and gyroscopes. We care just as much about whether the finished vehicle makes you want to open the door and go somewhere.


The Nexus should make an ordinary trip feel like something to look forward to. Here is a little of the spirit behind it. We hope you enjoy the video and share it with someone who would love to drive one!




As we head into fall, the X-1 integration described in July remains our next development objective. We’re also in due diligence and detailed discussions with investors.


Preorders matter in those conversations. Each reservation helps demonstrate demand for the Nexus and gives investors another reason to move forward. If you’ve been considering a preorder, we’d love to have you join us. If you’ve already reserved yours, sharing Lit Motors with someone who might want one is another way to help.



Thank you for your continued support, your questions, and your patience. We’re glad to have you with us!



With gratitude,

The Lit Motors Team

La explicación es clara y sencilla, algo que se agradece cuando se habla de diferentes sorteos. Tener a mano los Horarios de cada jornada puede facilitar bastante la organización y ayudar a consultar los resultados en el momento adecuado.

fun games are always a great way to relax, have some quick entertainment, and enjoy something new whenever you have free time.

Strands Hint Today is useful when the daily word puzzle has you staring at the letter grid without knowing where to begin.

clicker games are designed around an easy-to-understand but highly addictive gameplay loop. Players begin by manually clicking to earn resources, then use those rewards to purchase upgrades, unlock new tools, and activate automation systems. As production becomes more efficient, progress speeds up dramatically, creating an enjoyable sense of growth and achievement.
