My expectation when I fly a new airplane, drive a new car, or fly an airplane away from a maintenance check, is that everything is working properly because the QA folks have refined the processes good enough to ensure they're delivering a perfect product the first time.

Not quite right. Boeing first flight, B-1, is about 3 hours. They refly if there are any flight related squawks. After they sign it off, FDX Capt flys left seat with a Boeing pilot in right seat and they fly the complete B-1 flight again. Refly again until there are no more flight squawks. Plane is then ferried back to MEM where the HUD and a few other minor mods are done. That takes about 7 days. Then it is flown again to align the EFVS and verify the HUD is working properly. Then to the line.
