I’m pretty sure they’ve never made a functional “rocket car” with compressed air thrusters for a movie or tv show. Assuming everything was legitimate, which it appears to be, it’s something that has never been done before. Nothing even close.
Assuming everything was legitimate... No I will not assume it's legitimate just because someone says it is. Everything was seen from a distance. . Magicians routinely use staged points of view to ensure the magic happens.
And the screen shots of the under carriage does not inspire confidence that it's a legitimate car.
Show me a video of them going up to the car right after it executes one of the events so we can see the interior and chassis. Until then it's a plastic body designed to survive this one show and not the full weight of the roadster.
To blindly give the guy, that said without an a ounce of sarcasm that the guy in a robot suit was an actual robot, your faith in honesty is questionable at best. He
I will admit if it's real then it's pretty cool. Though my final joke would be that it's pretty Zoolander because the car can only spin one way. It's not an ambiturner.

Practical effects have done this and other stuff. They just don't try to sell it as a fully functioning car at the same time.
