alt Hacker NewsCrossing a creek of unknown depth and current is another use. Or hopping a curb rather than having it snap off your wheels.
I'm not claiming any of these are worth the complexity and cost of rocket boosters, but there are uses!

Since the “rockets” only have about a second of propellant, hopping bodies of water with unknown depth seems like a bad idea. Or is this car also supposed to be a boat just like the cybertruck?
I guess as long as we’re thinking up increasingly outlandish use cases, how about being able to park at the top of buildings when there are no parking spots available. Or being able to hop over the parking gates at theme parks. What about bypassing the speed limit at school zones or hopping over stopped school buses. Oh and no more waiting for draw bridges or railroad crossings. The uses really are endless!
