# Tesla (TSLA) insider trading and SEC filings

Sep 9 Form 4: Vaibhav Taneja (officer) filed an open-market sale of 2,605 TSLA shares at $360.134. 8 filings shown from 4 insiders.

I read the 8 insider filings below, filed between Apr 1 and Sep 9, 2026, all on Form 4. Each one is about Tesla stock and links to the original on EDGAR. They name 4 insiders: 1 director and 3 officers. Of the filings, 5 report an open-market sale, 7 an option exercise, and 1 shares withheld for tax (some filings report more than one type). In 3 of the 5 filings reporting a sale, the same person also reports an option exercise on the same trade date. Tesla's SEC record shows its latest 10-K filed Jan 29, 2026, its latest 10-Q Jul 23, 2026, and its latest 8-K Oct 2, 2026.
