Tesla Rules Out FSD Max Speed Return as v14 Keeps 5 Driving Profiles

Summary
Ashok Elluswamy said Tesla has no plans to restore Full Self-Driving’s max-speed setting, calling it an “anti pattern” and saying the system will instead learn users’ implied preferences.
FSD v14 removed the old speed cap control last year and replaced it with 5 Speed Profiles—from “Sloth” to “Mad Max”—that govern both speed and driving behavior such as lane changes and passing.
Owners say that setup remains confusing because profile behavior shifts between updates, with complaints ranging from “Standard” driving too fast to “Mad Max” running below posted limits.
Speed has become a key friction point because drivers, not Tesla, remain liable for tickets and infractions under FSD Supervised, and users say incorrect speeds are a leading reason they disengage the system.
