FSD v14 “Max Speed” Workaround (Not Perfect, But Helpful in Bad Conditions)

[Beyond]

This is the guy who originally implemented "Max Speed".



FSD with "set speed" was awesome if the FSD was better. You can go up 1 or 2 or flick the scroll wheel to go up or down 5. There was a ton of resistance to "Max Speed"...most said "It has to come back"...but they keep going further. I assume eventually there will be less options.

I admit that I regularly say very nasty things about Phil Duan as I disengage FSD due to it's ignorance of the set speed limits in my area, both high and low. Other than that FSD is great. We need the Max Speed control back. Perhaps make the side to side scroll wheel movement set the profile and the up and down movement set max speed.

Hey folks — wanted to share something I’ve found helpful with FSD v14, especially after Tesla removed the ability to adjust max speed via the scroll wheel.

Like many of you, I’ve found this change pretty frustrating in certain scenarios — freezing rain, snow, curvy canyon roads, low-visibility conditions, etc. There are times when you simply want FSD to cap out at a slower speed, and v14 doesn’t make that obvious anymore.

The workaround:
There is still a way to set a maximum speed cap that FSD will honor.

Key points:

• You can set a max speed as low as 50 mph
• You can also set it higher if desired
• Once set, it’s honored in FSD and manual driving
• It must be set or changed while in Park
• You’ll need to unset/reset it if you want to change behavior later

Important caveats:

• This is not a perfect solution
• It’s not dynamic like the old scroll-wheel adjustment
• It’s a bit clunky compared to previous versions

That said, it does give you back a degree of control that can make a big difference in adverse driving conditions.

I put together a short YouTube clip showing exactly where this setting lives and how to use it step-by-step:

Hopefully Tesla brings back proper on-the-fly speed control in a future update, but until then, this might help anyone who’s been missing that functionality.

Curious if others have been using this, or if you’ve found any better workarounds.

I really miss the maximum speed set. They really need to bring it back!!

I think my range would increase dramatically if I didn’t have to keep pressing the accelerator to speed up to the speed limit

Utter non-sense; nothing to do with marketing. Tesla is slowly and methodically removing user input controls exactly like they said they would several years ago.

And yet it remains “supervised”. Removing the tools to do so is more than incongruous.
