Assuming this is not another "bankwupt" type joke, wouldn't the thrusters need fuel? Or does cold thrust mean it would be powered by the compressed air.... like a balloon releasing air and creating thrust?

Resistojet rocket - WikipediaMusk tweeted that the thrusters would use compressed air, yes. So no need for rocket fuel.

It looks like they have used noble gases in the past for these thrusters in space craft, but for a variety of reasons those gases would not be appropriate for a car. I suppose you could use water if the temperature differential was great enough.
Accelerating 0-60 in 1.9 seconds is illegal on public roads, most places. Doesn't mean it's illegal to include the ability. The thrusters would likely have several selectable control options. Like:I think it is nonsense. These boosters take way too much space in the car. If you miniaturize them, then they would lack power. Another point is safety. Imagine firing these boosters just when a motorcycle is behind you. I wouldn't want to be anywhere near, even in an ordinary car. No way these thinks would be legal...
