Watch The man with the golden gun. You’ll see a car do a corkscrew jump. Does that mean all cars of that brand could do that jump?
What we saw was impressive, but it’s a trick. The car’s tanks are surely empty after this, and now you have a loud compressor filling them up for minutes. You can’t use those thrusters near people and cars cause you’re at risk of getting them in trouble.
It’s part of a long history of useless tech in supercars. Impressive, but useless.
Not filling up for minutes.. they said it takes 2-6 hours to recharge using external equipment.
Huh? They said clearly that the car recharges them itself. Source?
That's a hypothetical (marketing?) future, not what they have now.

How is that a trick? So far it seems that was exactly what was advertised?
Tom Cruise famously does his own stunts, one of which involved driving a motorcycle off a cliff. That does not mean it is advisable or repeatable to drive your motorcycle off a cliff.
Or that there aren't wires.
