I think others have used a skirt that needs to extend quite close to the ground to work, so uneven ground can cause sudden loss of suction. Maybe this is solvable somehow?
I'm more worried about the COPVs exploding in a crash, for the thruster version. Hopefully it will keep the tanks empty unless a special launch mode is enabled with a warning siren sounding as long as they're pressurized.

Why would you solve that? Open roads aren't a track, we don't build highways with 90 degree turns, there is no need for such thing
Are they worse than a gasoline tank exploding?
Very much so. A gasoline tank creates a fireball but not an explosion.
And this Tesla would then have air tanks going flying at explosive speeds, if I understand things correctly?
