Of course the event is real. The electric McMurtry Spéirling drove upside down last year with the same reverse suction tech. Self landing rockets are so mainstream even Honda has one. Cool tech. Pretty useless in a car tho.

Massively increased acceleration, braking, and cornering are pretty useful in a performance car.

I was talking about the thrusters. But sure - go buy one big dog. Give elon $250,000 right now. It worked out so well for the guys who did it 10 years ago.

Thrusters are also very useful for acceleration, braking, and cornering.

"Pretty useless in a car though" I said what I said.

You did say it, but it isn't true. This is a performance car, the whole point is to accelerate, turn, and brake at a higher level of performance than a typical car. Larger engines, better brakes, active aero etc are definitely not useless, they define the entire category.
