Any idea of what sort of thruster specs would be practical with such a setup?

My understanding is that they will be compressed air, fed from a tank where the
rear seats would have been.

to look like. On one car enthusiast Facebook group I subscribe to, someone was
claiming that Tesla was planning to put ten 400 lb thrusters around the vehicle
which would be capable of firing for 90 seconds, which sounds silly just
thinking about the mass of nitrogen required.
Does anyone here have any information/informed-speculation they could share
about these potential Tesla thrusters?
Thanks,
