Overview

• Tesla's Head of AI Ashok Elluswamy flagged the release and said the new 'Mad Max' profile shows its strengths in denser daytime traffic.
• Release notes describe 'Mad Max' as allowing higher speeds and more frequent lane changes than Hurry, while 'Sloth' lowers speeds and favors more conservative lane selection than Chill.
• Tesla says driver profile now more strongly shapes behavior, with more assertive settings enabling higher maximum speeds.
• Early tester videos highlight assertive maneuvers that still maintain cautious, safety‑minded behavior.
• The v14.1 series also adds improved handling of system faults, smoother recovery from degraded operation, refined arrival and parking options, and better yielding to emergency vehicles, with broader rollout pending further testing and regulatory progress including newly approved highway tests in Sweden.
