The Tesla CyberCab has no steering wheel or pedals.
Resolved true The record shows it happened or was so.
Factual: Statements about the present or the past, checked against the record: did they hold up?
Said for an organisation they lead or work for; it counts on both records.
What would count as true or false
Judge the Cybercab as Tesla presented or built it on 28 Jan 2026. True: the Cybercab design or units (prototype or production) have neither a steering wheel nor pedals. Mostly true: neither is present on the standard design, but a minor exception exists, such as a removable control for a test or regulatory variant. Mixed: one of the two is present. Mostly false: Tesla had by then announced that the Cybercab would have a wheel and pedals, but some units still lacked them. False: the Cybercab as made has both a steering wheel and pedals.

E3 Cybercab Rider Guide | Tesla Tesla · 2 October 2026 Own record
“The interior of Cybercab has two seats and is NOT equipped with a steering wheel, accelerator pedal, or brake pedal.”
Reasoning
Road & Track's report on the October 2024 reveal says the Cybercab lacks pedals and a steering wheel (E1). An independent report from March 2026 describes a Cybercab spotted in Washington with no pedals or steering wheel (E2). Tesla's own rider guide says the vehicle has no steering wheel, accelerator pedal or brake pedal (E3). None of the evidence, from the October 2024 reveal [E1] to reports after January 2026 [E2][E3], shows a Cybercab with either a steering wheel or pedals. This fits the design having neither around 28 Jan 2026.
