You can do that on a Nikola too. You need to start in a hilly area and ensure that you are going downhill. Nikola leverages gravity to deliver a form of transportation that uses the cleanest possible energy - gravity.

And using its super advanced HTML5 machine learning and Nikola's patented "3rd Law 2.0", it takes that gravity and stores it in a regenerative fuel cell in the battery for energy. It does this by redirecting existing inertia into the forward dampeners!

So cool.

no Nikolas have been delivered to customers, so no you cannot do that.

Please use imagination till delivery.

Technically, from their SEC financial statements, they recorded $36,000 in revenue from installing solar panels at Trevor Milton's house. He couldn't let it be zero!
