Tesla expects to use the Dojo computer operationally later in 2023.
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 said mostly false; the verdict shown is the first judge's.
The evidence is the person's or their organisation's own records.
Said for an organisation they lead or work for; it counts on both records.
What would count as true or false
Promise that Tesla would be using the Dojo computer operationally (in real production work, such as training Autopilot/FSD neural nets) by 31 Dec 2023. True: credible dated evidence (a Tesla earnings call, shareholder letter, 10-K/10-Q, or reliable reporting) shows Dojo in operational use at Tesla on or before 31 Dec 2023. Mostly true: operational use began in 2023 but the exact timing or scale is a little unclear, as long as it is shown to be operational within 2023. Mostly false: only partial progress by end-2023 (Dojo still in testing or pilot, not yet operational, or 'coming online' with no operational use), or operational use confirmed only after 2023. False: evidence such as Tesla's Q4 2023 or early-2024 reports, or reliable reporting, shows Dojo was not in operational use by end-2023, or the project was cancelled before then. A Tesla statement that Dojo was 'in production' counts only if it describes Dojo actually running Tesla workloads.

Reasoning
On Tesla's Q4 2023 earnings call on 24 January 2024, Tesla said "Dojo is working, and it is doing training jobs" and that it was being scaled up (E5). That describes Dojo running real Tesla workloads as of the January 2024 call, without saying when in 2023 that use began. Independent reporting confirms only that Tesla announced the start of Dojo production in July 2023 (E1, E7). The reports of Dojo running tasks during 2023 are relayed Musk claims (E2, E3). The scale and exact start date of operational use stay unclear: Tesla never confirmed D1 chip volumes (E4) and called Dojo "a long shot" (E6). So the verdict is mostly true rather than fully true.
