alt Hacker NewsThat is incorrect - there are three versions slated, one with no cold gas nozzles, one with forward-only (the 4 in the rear) and a tank in the rear "acceleration", one with 10 nozzles (4 under, 2 side, 4 rear) and a tank in the rear and passenger seat "flight". None of the variants use rocket fuel or other ignited propellent, they're all just compressed gas release systems.
This is explained in the deep dive video with Lars - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=22rvpUecLts

You know the force from these thrusters is going to injure a pedestrian and the whole idea will be scrapped.
They can’t even build a proper Mini anymore because the hood was so low it elked pedestrians face first into the windshield.
Honey, did you remember to also charge the compressed gas tank on the Tesla?
Sorry, I'll start it from the app!

I like how "Jetson car" goes from driving George to work through the air to "10 seconds of air time is a Jetson car." No, it is nothing like the Jetsons. It is a cold air bomb waiting to explode and there is zero chance of it actually hitting the road other than in a few fake forms to pretend they did it.
