Cant verify gassers, but the diesel Golf does not get a computer check except for engine check light being off. I can theoretically run any tune I want as long as the tailpipe stays below soot specs. I'm stock tune because the dealer does check and tunes void the dieselgate warranty.

If you don't live in washoe, clark or storey county, there is no smog check so a lot of people commute the twenty or so miles. The gigafactory people drive 5miles over a hill.
