  • The release started with Early Access Program members and is now expanding to more owners, with availability limited to Hardware 4 vehicles.
  • Tesla says driver profile now has a stronger impact on behavior, with more assertive settings enabling higher maximum speeds.
  • Early user tests praise Mad Max for quicker acceleration and confident lane changes in dense traffic, with reports of smoother highway performance.
  • Independent videos show instances of rolling stop signs and speeds exceeding posted limits by more than 15 mph, prompting renewed criticism as authorities review FSD behavior.
