Why would it be considered a toy? Actually asking

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

It's largely marketed as a recreation/sport vehicle. It's for going camping and off-roading.

That isn't too say that it can't also get you to and from work, or even be used for constructive uses. But at the price and feature set, I think anyone would agree it's designed to be a fun luxury first and foremost rather than a practical tool.
