Promise Their own work or organisation

Tesla's Cybertruck will have Hardware 4.

Mostly true True in substance, wrong in a detail.

Promise: Commitments to the person's or organisation's own future action, with something to deliver: was it delivered?

The second judge would not resolve this claim; the verdict shown is the first judge's.

Said for an organisation they lead or work for; it counts on both records.

What would count as true or false

Promise: production Tesla Cybertrucks will have Hardware 4 (also called AI4), Tesla's fourth-generation self-driving computer and sensor suite. True: Cybertrucks delivered to customers from the start of production (deliveries began November 2023) ship with HW4/AI4, as shown by Tesla documentation, teardowns or credible reporting. Mostly true: HW4 became standard but with a minor deviation, such as a few early units shipping without it. Mostly false: only some Cybertrucks or trims received HW4, or it came only through a later retrofit. False: production Cybertrucks shipped with Hardware 3 or another earlier computer.

    “All current Cybertruck production units ship with HW4, so this is only relevant if you're considering a used purchase.”
  2. E2 When Will Tesla Cybertruck Owners Get a Taste of Full Self-Driving? autoevolution · 4 January 2024

    “I believe it will take more, considering that the Cybertruck is an entirely new vehicle, and it also comes with a different set of cameras.”

Reasoning

E1, an independent 2026 article, says that all current production Cybertrucks ship with HW4, which supports the claim that HW4 is standard on the Cybertruck. However, E1 limits the point to current units and frames it as something used buyers should check. Neither E1 nor E2 confirms that the first units delivered from November 2023 had HW4. E2 only notes that the Cybertruck uses a different set of cameras, so the evidence supports HW4 as standard but does not fully meet the "from the start of production" requirement for a true verdict.
