Technically speaking he said it wasn't reliable and sturdy enough for third party testing, not internal tests or any tests at all. But yeah, you could easily argue it failed in internal tests too. But I don't see how this is a problem. First of all this happens in the early stages of all prototypes and second it is much much easier to make something like this simply beefier and more sturdy than it is to make it perform and have the right efficiency. So the hard part was done and most likely the easier, reliability part, is also done by now. And once it is good enough for third party testing and a limited run of units it is 99% good enough for mass production too.

Kind of like someone putting together a radio or computer in their garage out of parts and wires, the initial prototype will be a mess of parts in a box and will stop working every time the wind blows. But once the functionality is great/revolutionary making that into a reliable piece of equipment is very straightforward and never fails, even if it may take a while. And then you might have Microsoft or Apple... I'm sure some people laughed at their early efforts too.
