The forum name was chosen to make clear that this forum is about the future Roadster model, not the past model. When the new Roadster arrives in 2020 (hopefully) then the names of the two Roadster forums can be reassessed.
I suspect... Roadster Discussion about the original Tesla Roadster (2008-2012) Roadster Discussion about the new Tesla Roadster (2020-????) Actually not sure why it isn't that way now.
Because in the drop down menu showing the main forums that subtext description can’t be shown, so it would be confusing to have the menu show two “Roadster” choices.
