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
Wow, what an exciting September newsletter! I appreciate how you highlighted the latest developments at Lit Motors. The innovations you mentioned are like space waves, shifting our understanding of transportation. Can’t wait to see what’s next—thanks for keeping us in the loop! 🌌
Thanks for the update—really love the “two coffees = a thousand miles” comparison. It’s a super clear free online games way to talk about efficiency and real ownership costs. Also excited to see what you learned at Actuate 2026 and that “Akira to Reality” video sounds awesome.
There’s always another career, relationship, or completely different life to try when you start a new run in bitlife
I loved the insights shared in your September newsletter! It’s always exciting to see how innovation is moving forward. cookie clicker Have you considered discussing any upcoming features on Cookie Clicker? I'd love to hear more about that!
I found the explanation of 10.0.0.1 useful because it keeps the router login process simple. Users can enter the address directly in their browser instead of searching for the login page. It also helps to verify that the router actually uses this IP.
