Well I assume you understand quality control. Concept control is that of vetting out new concepts to see if they are viable, no matter how well they are built. A example might be the concept of BMW not putting the drain at the 'bottom' of the rear drive on their early shaft drives of their motos. Well made, but poorly conceived. After many problems/complaints and years, they finally put it at the bottom DOH! Come to think of it, I had a tv cabinet that had hinges were not offset like Paul has done, and thus the doors never did sit flush when opened; the next model got it right. I once had an unbreakable headlight protector on a motorcycle. It was awesome, except that one could not get behind it to clean the dirt of the lens and the inside of the protector rendering it worse than not having it. I recently walked through a very expensive factory made expo vehicle. They had a deep storage area and decided that the best concept was to put two drawers in it; one behind the other. YMMV on that one. I am sure others here could chime in on 20-30 more concepts that were sold, used and the customer feedback got the concept right a few models down the road.

What I am impressed with is, in this one off trailer, they have proactively thought through hundreds of issues big and small, many of which have been asked by the peanut gallery throughout the thread. Did they get them all? Of course not.
