Depends how much they sell them for. It could probably make the investment back if they price it at $5M or something and sell 100 of them to the ultra rich.

That would involve turning a carefully controlled magic trick into a production vehicle that can do the same trick anywhere
They will never sell a car with similar functionality to that demo to anyone

They're explicitly advertising selling exactly that car. They just say it's by "invitation only". Do you think it's just a marketing gimmick? I dunno who's crazy enough to buy one. But for the right price, they could definitely sell a few.
They’ve been selling that car with deposits for 10 years without delivering.
Will they deliver this time?
I’m sure adding jet packs from SpaceX rockets will make that much easier!

Priced at $420k I imagine.

I could maybe see a major movie studio buying one or two, but I think the major problem with the stunt functionality is not so much making the vehicle, its finding a building/structure where it is safe to hang a multi-ton vehicle off the wall or the ceiling.
Never gonna happen. It's trivial to do this with CGI, there'd be no advantage, and a whole heck of a lot of liability doing it practically.
