Consumer Description
Tesla removed the speed limit offset feature in FSD version 14.1.4 and now only uses speed profiles called Sloth, Chill, Standard, Hurry, and Mad Max, and this has made my car extremely unsafe to drive. The problem is that these profiles make the car go either way too slow or way too fast and I cannot adjust it to match actual traffic conditions anymore. To make matters worse, the speed limit detection is broken and frequently shows the wrong speed limit for the road I am on. When I use Sloth, the car never goes over the detected speed limit no matter what, so if the system thinks I am in a 35 mph zone when I am actually on a 55 mph highway, my car crawls along at 35 while traffic is flying past at 60-70 mph. I have people tailgating me, honking, flashing their lights, swerving around me dangerously, and I have almost been rear-ended multiple times because my car is going so much slower than everyone else. Without the ability to set a maximum speed offset, I am stuck going whatever speed the broken detection system thinks is right. If I switch to Standard, Hurry or Mad Max to try to keep up with traffic, sometimes the car goes way too fast for the actual conditions or blows through school zones and residential areas at unsafe speeds. I cannot fine-tune the speed anymore to drive safely with the flow of traffic. I am forced to either be a rolling roadblock and risk getting hit from behind, or use an aggressive profile that might go dangerously fast. This happens every single time I use FSD now and the combination of broken speed limit detection plus no manual offset control has created a seriously unsafe situation. I feel endangered every time I drive and I am genuinely worried about causing or being in an accident.
