“Again, am I the only one that thinks 60 units for testing is excessive?”

I believe using 60 units for testing, excessive or not, is more about coming to a fast conclusion than it is about potential order size. Also, a large sample for testing will offer a more accurate pass-fail ratio. The less units used in testing would prolong the testing phase.

It is my understanding the insurance company is testing units in their company cars; the insurance company fleet vehicles. If the units are being tested during a typical 8-hour workday, then: 60 units x 8 hours x 30 days = 14,400 test hours.

The insurance company is obviously interested, or they wouldn’t be doing testing. In my opinion, the size of the test and desire to come to a quick conclusion indicates a company that is engaged in the process and confirms their interest in the product.
