Possible to organize (for sale forum) a bit? Separate section for reservation sale/transfer? Maybe even separate sections for each model?

For sale forum section is now inundated with reservation sale/transfers. Is there a way we can create a sub-section or sub-forum in the "Tesla for sale" section just for reservations? Along the same line, Tesla forums have grown exponentially over the past few years, which is great, but is there a way we can create sub-forums for each model? Example below:

Community > Marketplace > Tesla for sale >

• Reservations for Sale/Transfer
• Model S
• Model 3
• Model X
• Model Y
• Roadster

That way someone can easily only go to the section they're interested in. I know a search function exists, but sometimes certain keywords will not pull everything up, and sometimes it's also nice to just browse the most recent listings for a specific model.

These reservation sales will die out soon now that Tesla is forcing deliveries. No more camping on reservations and more inventory for those who actually want one. Just give it some time is my thought.

+1 for organizing, that would be helpful

Yes to dividing by model. Also time to require asking price in the title and to get better about marking as sold once it’s sold.

The site owners have stated that they are working on an overhaul for this subforum, so you likely need to wait for that.

This would be great, too much reservation garbage

I’m the new kid on the block but agree 1) reservation sales won’t be around long; 2) product sub forums would be helpful; and 3) new overhaul may trump everything.

I appreciate the feedback.

Thanks for everyone's response. I guess I missed that the site owners are working on an overhaul. I'll eagerly be waiting!

This was posted in January. It has now been 7 months but everything is the same. Anything I can do to help with the Marketplace overhaul? Marketplace is now mainly reservation sales/transfers. I don't really have coding/website design experience, but can learn if I need to. @Krash @jjrandorin

We (@Krash and myself) are volunteer moderators and are not involved in re coding anything. I was told that the developers the site uses are in the Ukraine, so are bandwith constricted.

I am sure they are still planning on doing something, but there is no other update I personally have heard about on this.

Any good news to share on this? I was browsing the classifieds for wheels for my S last night and it's very frustrating to click on dozens of posts only to find out they only fit a 3/Y. Some people put the bolt pattern or model they are designed to fit, but many do not. Seems trivial to just create subforums for each model, even if they only divide the S/X and 3/Y.

Forums have become like 80% reservation sales/transfers or new delivery flippers now. Almost everyone has moved to the facebook groups. I bet you'd be able to find some wheel posts there if you haven't already checked.

I'm only looking in the parts subforum anyway so it is not littered with reservation threads. I don't use Facebook.
