"It's almost like the Elon Musk owned automaker is actively trying to accelerate toward its own doom, if not its passengers into an accident. The resurrection of the feature comes in an update to Tesla's new FSD v14 overhaul, which first launched last week and received a new patch on Wednesday night. It "comes with higher speeds and more frequent lane changes than HURRY," Tesla wrote in the release notes, referring to its other driving mode that prioritizes speed."
"Fans gushed about the mode online. "Mad Max mode is INSANE," tweeted Tesla enthusiast Nic Cruz Patane, adding that it "weaves through traffic at an incredible pace" and that it "drives your car like a sports car." Sawyer Merritt, a well known Tesla influencer, raved that "Mad Max mode makes the car zoom around town like it's on a mission." "If you like to drive fast, you're going to love this new mode," he added."
"Predictably, it's already been spotted driving more than 15 miles per hour over the speed limit, according to Electrek. In one video taken by a Canada based Tesla fan, a Tesla in Mad Max mode careens down a street at 25 kilometers per hour (15 mph) over the posted speed limit. "We're going 75 in a 50, I feel like we're racing down the street right now," the Tesla fan can be heard saying. "I feel like this is inevitable that I'm going to get a speeding ticket.""
Tesla reintroduced a 'Mad Max' Full Self-Driving mode in its FSD v14 update that enables vehicles to exceed posted speed limits and make more frequent lane changes. Tesla described the mode as having higher speeds and more frequent lane changes than the HURRY profile. Enthusiasts praised the feature online, while videos showed Teslas traveling about 25 km/h (15 mph) over speed limits. FSD v14 also added a Sloth profile that caps speed at the posted limit. The release arrives amid increased scrutiny from safety investigations and a lackluster Robotaxi rollout.
