Does TDI not sell to the worlds 5th largest economy?

[Michael_in_Baja]

I went to pull the trigger on a TDI tuner this morning for my Trialmaster. At check out, they don't list California as a shipping destination. There is nothing on the website that says they don't sell to California, but you simply can't select California as a state at checkout.

I reached out to them directly to find out if there was some prohibition, or maybe they just don't like California. I will update you as I know more or perhaps someone here has had a similar experience and knows this answer.

I'm actually doing this for the additional fuel economy opportunity. We're not going to get anywhere near what the BMWs are getting but I suspect I can get an additional 20% and a bit more power and torque.

California Air Resources Board (carb).
Our products are not to be used in California unless a specific Executive Order has been issued for your vehicle. The California Air Resources Board (CARB) regulates aftermarket parts and has regulations that place all emissions related aftermarket automobile parts into various categories. Executive Order Parts are aftermarket parts that CARB have evaluated and determined do not adversely impact emissions, and thereby are granted an Executive Order (EO), which allows the part to be sold and used on specified automobiles for on-road, off-road, on or off public highway use in California. At this time TDI Tuning do not have such Executive Orders and therefore prohibit the use of our aftermarket tuning devices for use in California.

It is your responsibility to comply with all applicable federal and state laws relating to the use of equipment supplied by TDI Tuning for both on-road, off-road, on or off public highway use. TDI Tuning hereby disclaims any liability resulting from the failure to use our products in compliance with all applicable federal and state laws.

By installing and or using our products you agree to the terms of use as stated above.

It does appear that more countries and states are clamping down on anything that affects emissions, I read about a US remapper being fined several millions for modifying vehicles recently. Also I note for example the French bi-annual roadworthiness test will be using specialised equipment to so if a vehcile has been remapped as well as gutted cats and dpf deletes. It is only a matter of time before this spreads more widely.

I looked for that and I couldn't find it thank you so much.

I wound up sending my 460 Ford 4x4 F250 to Florida for this very reason. It is good to have friends in free states. Sigh.

Did I see that California are banning gasoline lawnmowers, hedge cutters etc?

Not banning private jets for some reason.

Yep, The state has essentially declared war on the petrochemical industry. Even gas-fired water heaters and stoves are on their list.

All the while our governor has one of the largest carbon footprints on the planet. He loves taking a helicopter and here there and everywhere.

Chevron is moving its corporate headquarters full of managerial jobs to Texas, and the political fallout is unavoidable.
