The lingo of the word Prototype
#4
As the widely used exampe of the term it's more of a test, rough draft, idea, etc.

Even the origins of the word mean primitive form.

There are two stages here, prototype and production. In the vehicle world those aren't interchangeable.

I think MountainMan hit it on the head with it being insider slang. I've been in enough industries to know terminologies were widely used for a lot of things.
