"A look at posts on social media platform X would show that, similar to past FSD releases, numerous Tesla content creators immediately tested Mad Max mode on real-world streets after it was downloaded onto their vehicle. Considering that the update was released rather late, the first tests of Mad Max mode were done at night. Despite this, it was evident that Tesla worked very hard to make Mad Max mode into something that is very useful in real-world scenarios."

"Here is my first drive on Tesla FSD V14.1.2 with the new Mad Max speed profile.Mad Max mode drives very quickly and confidently. It accelerates MUCH quicker off the line (love that) and maxes out at 85mph on the highway. If you like to drive fast, you're going to"
Mad Max mode raises maximum speeds and performs more frequent lane changes than previous profiles. The profile drives faster and more assertively while remaining cautious in complex traffic. Early real-world tests on city streets and highways showed quicker acceleration off the line and confident high-speed behavior, including an 85 mph highway cap. Multiple Tesla owners reported strong performance in rush-hour and heavy-traffic scenarios, citing smoother progress through congestion. Initial uploads and nighttime tests demonstrated robustness despite late release timing. The profile appears optimized for practical urban driving and aggressive traffic-sorting maneuvers.
