It's not a work truck.

It's a work truck if that's what someone wants to use it for.

220v, compressed air hookup, and lots of torque. It's a work truck.

Every Tesla has gobs of torque, it doesn't qualify any of them as work trucks.

It's a toy, this is a recreational vehicle hence the ATV. Off-roaders often need compressed air to refill tires after deflating for traction in exceptional conditions like sand and snow.

The decision to have sloped bed-rails prevents mounting toolboxes anywhere on this thing, nor can you place oversized loads across them without sliding off. That alone precludes the vast majority of work truck applications. The 1st gen Honda Ridgeline had the same defect, to a lesser degree.
