There might be some niche situation where it's helpful but that's not even relevant because there's no way it would be legal on public roads in most places. I also strongly doubt that it would be able to do it safely and compensate for different weight distribution of the vehicle with different passengers and such.
I doubt they'd be able to even sit still safely, that amount of compressed air sitting in the undercarriage is much more dangerous than even the 10 gallons of gas sitting in a car.
Then there's the "range issue" of being able to do that maybe a few times, at best, for a few seconds. Cool demo, but you'd think just a revamped Roadster would be enough. Do it with a Cybertruck without showering everyone with shrapnel and I might be impressed.
