photo of an intersection with 3 lanes leading to a second intersection 50 feet up: - The right lane has a dedicated right turn signal (currently red), a "right turn only except bus & bicycles" sign and a separate signal to let you know when you *actually* shouldn't turn right because there's a streetcar coming and portland drivers don't recognize red lights. - The middle lane leads to a Bus Only lane - The left lane splits into 3 lanes, the leftmost of which veers off diagonally into a left-straight turn and a hard-left, both of which are labelled "Lincoln St." Next to one of the left turn signs is a "no left turns sign" and the other two are "exit only" lanes (exiting what? who knows) There are 3 bike paths, one to the right of the bus lane, one sharing the left lane to, and one going across. There are street car tracks to the right of the right lane and going across the second intersection. There is a sign labelled "5th Ave" (the street you are on in this POV) that points down directly at the lane line in between the Bus Only lane and the rightmost branch of the left lane

Instead, the Cybertruck got a “Wade Mode” feature that pressurizes the battery pack and raises the ride height, but it only supports a maximum wade depth of about 32 inches from the bottom of the tire. That’s designed for crossing a shallow creek — not driving into a lake
