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.

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!

I thought you were joking, but holy shit it's true!

Made me curious if there are any "pre-revenue" startups (let's say revenue < .5% of expenses) that IPOed and didn't eventually collapse. After all, it is a particularly ballsy move to IPO without any actual revenue, never mind profits.
