Tesla CFO Taneja sells 2,605 shares for $1.0M; non-derivative holdings drop to 22.0K but 58,844 RSU shares remain

Vaibhav Taneja, Chief Financial Officer, sold 2,605 shares of Tesla at $402.20 on 2026-06-08 for $1,047,924.28, reducing his non-derivative holdings to 22,039 shares. This represents a -10.6% reduction in direct share count, though his derivative holdings (58,844 restricted stock units) remain in place. His prior sales at Tesla show mixed timing outcomes: two of his five prior trades at this ticker were well-timed (negative 90-day returns), while his most recent sale on 2026-05-13 posted -9.1% at the 90-day mark. The current stock price of $396.68 is -20.5% from the 52-week high of $498.83 and down -7.4% over the past 30 days, reflecting broader weakness in the position since this transaction was executed.

Tesla CFO Vaibhav Taneja sells 3,000 shares at $450.00 on 2026-05-13; stock at $422.24, down -15.4% from 52-week high.

Taneja sold 3,000 shares at $450.00, reducing his holdings by -14.2% to 18,106 shares post-transaction. The sale occurred near the 52-week high range (current price $422.24 is -15.4% from the 52-week peak of $498.83), though the transaction price of $450.00 itself sits within the 52-week range of $273.21–$498.83. Across his cross-ticker track record, Taneja's prior 20 sells averaged a 90-day return of +18.4% with a well-timed rate of 45.00%, but his TSLA-specific history is less favorable: only 1 of 5 prior sells at this ticker produced negative 90-day returns. The company shows mixed fundamentals—annual revenue growth is -2.9% while the P/E ratio stands at 409.94, reflecting both valuation pressure and operational headwinds. This sale represents a discrete open-market transaction rather than a pattern of sustained reductions.

CFO Taneja Vaibhav sold 2,264 (2.3K shares) of Tesla at $397.03 on 2026-03-06 for $899,076.70 ($899.1K), reducing stake by 11.1%.

Vaibhav Taneja, Tesla's Chief Financial Officer, executed a sale of 2,264 (2.3K shares) on 2026-03-06 at $397.03, reducing his holdings from 20,371 shares (20.4K shares) to 18,106 shares (18.1K shares). The sale occurred when TSLA was -18.6% from its 52-week high and within a 30-day downtrend of -3.0%, yet against his track record this timing signal is mixed: across his cross-ticker open-market history, his prior sells averaged a 90-day return of +17.6% with a 90d well-timed rate of 50.00%, indicating historically his sales have been poorly timed relative to subsequent rallies. However, within his TSLA-specific history, only 1 of 5 prior sells at this ticker were well-timed at the 90-day mark, with the most recent TSLA sale (2025-12-08) proving well-timed at 90-day (-10.6%). Given Tesla's elevated valuation (P/E: 752.23) and annual revenue contraction of -2.9%, the sale reflects a material reduction in his concentrated position but does not strongly signal insider concern based on the lack of escalating or pattern-based selling activity.

Tesla CFO Vaibhav Taneja sold 2,637 shares (16.1% of holdings) at $443.93; stock up 28.0% in 90 days post-sale.

Taneja sold 2,637 shares at $443.93 on 2025-12-08, reducing holdings by 16.1% to 13,757 shares. His prior five trades at Tesla all posted positive 90-day returns (ranging from 29.1% to 51.1%), with none meeting the well-timed threshold (negative 90-day return after a sell). The current transaction follows this pattern: the stock has appreciated 28.0% in the 90 days following the sale, again missing the well-timed mark. Across his broader cross-ticker track record, his 20 prior sells achieved a 50.00% well-timed rate, but at Tesla specifically, the pattern is consistent underperformance in timing—each sale has been followed by material gains rather than declines. This suggests systematic difficulty identifying local tops at this particular security.

Tesla CFO Taneja Vaibhav sold 2,605 shares (2.6K shares) at $352.38; stock down 27.7% from 52-week high.

Taneja Vaibhav, Tesla's CFO, sold 2,605 shares (2.6K shares) at $352.38 on 2025-09-08, reducing his holdings by -20.9% vs pre-transaction holdings. The sale occurred at a price $5.41 above the current price of $346.97, and the stock is now -27.7% from its 52-week high of $479.86. Across his cross-ticker track record, the insider has executed 20 prior sells with a 90d well-timed rate of 84.62%, indicating a consistent pattern of selling before declines. At Tesla specifically, his 5 prior sales in July 2025 have all shown positive 30d returns (ranging from 7.4% to 10.3%), though none have yet had measurable 90d outcomes. The transaction occurs in a context where Tesla's fundamentals show slowing growth (annual revenue growth of +1.0%) and an elevated P/E of 184.56, though the stock has recovered 5.2% and 6.3% over the prior 30 and 90 days respectively.

Tesla CFO Vaibhav Taneja sold 6,000 shares for $1.8M across 7 transactions on 2025-07-07 and 2025-07-08, cutting holdings by 50.3%.

Vaibhav Taneja, Tesla's Chief Financial Officer, executed 7 separate sales totaling 6,000 shares for $1,771,544.70 over two days, reducing his stake from 11,923 to 5,923 shares—a 50.3% reduction in holdings. The blended average price of $295.26 lies between the current price of $295.88 and Tesla's 52-week high of $479.86, placing this disposal near recent support but well below the year's peak. His prior trades at Tesla show mixed outcomes: a sell on 2025-06-09 has posted a +3.6% 30-day return, while four earlier June 2025 sales recorded negative 30-day returns (-6.8% to -9.9%), suggesting recent selling activity has not consistently preceded declines. Cross-ticker, his 20 prior open-market sales averaged +2.0% 30-day return, indicating his historical sells have not anticipated downturns. The magnitude of this transaction—liquidating half his position in the company he helps lead—represents a material change in executive exposure at a $953.0B market-cap company trading at a P/E of 149.43 and posting only +1.0% annual revenue growth.

CFO Taneja sold 2,564 TSLA shares at $285.72 (June 9); stock now at $308.58. Five rapid consecutive sells in early June.

Vaibhav Taneja, Tesla's CFO, executed a sale of 2,564 shares at $285.72 on 2025-06-09 for $732,573.26, reducing his holdings by 30.2% from 8,487 to 5,923 shares. This transaction follows four additional sales by Taneja on 2025-06-02 and 2025-06-03 (five separate dispositions within a week), suggesting a concentrated reduction in personal holdings over a brief period. The current market price of $308.58 is 7.9% above the sale price, and his cross-ticker track record shows an average 30-day return of +18.7% following prior sales, indicating a historical pattern of selling ahead of upside moves rather than at market peaks. The timing outcomes of his prior TSLA transactions (four additional early-June sales) remain unmeasurable; no prior TSLA sales have yet recorded a 90-day outcome to assess pattern consistency at this specific ticker.

Tesla CFO Taneja sold 7,000 shares ($2.4M) across 11 transactions on 2025-06-02/03, reducing holdings 78.2% to 1.9K shares

Taneja Vaibhav, Chief Financial Officer of Tesla, executed 11 separate sales totaling 7,000 shares for $2,396,092.30 on 2025-06-02 and 2025-06-03, with a blended average price of $342.30. This represents a substantial 78.2% reduction in his shareholdings from 8,949 to 1,949 shares, a dramatic withdrawal of his equity stake in the company he stewards financially. The timing occurs as Tesla stock has gained 18.5% over 30 days and 26.0% over 90 days, trading 30.8% below its 52-week high of $479.86. His cross-ticker track record shows a 90-day well-timed rate of 0.00%, indicating his prior sells across all holdings did not precede declines; at TSLA specifically, his three measurable prior sales showed positive 30-day returns of +21.9%, +20.7%, and +22.4% respectively, suggesting he has historically sold before rallies rather than before drops. The magnitude of this divestiture—reducing Tesla equity exposure to minimal levels in absolute terms while the stock is elevated relative to its 52-week range—warrants attention to whether material circumstances affecting the CFO's confidence in near-term prospects are driving the transaction.

CFO Taneja Vaibhav sold 3,000 TSLA shares at $350.11 on 2025-05-16 (total $1.1M); holds 26.9K post-transaction.

Taneja Vaibhav, CFO of Tesla, sold 3,000 shares at $350.11 on 2025-05-16, reducing his holdings from 29,949 to 26,949 shares (-10.0% of prior holdings). The sale occurred when the stock was trading 28.4% below its 52-week high of $479.86, though it had risen 42.4% over the prior 30 days. His cross-ticker track record across 20 prior sells shows an average 30-day return of -1.9%, and at Tesla specifically he had executed four other sells on 2025-05-01 and one on 2025-05-09, all within the same compressed 16-day window. The timing pattern of his prior Tesla trades is not yet measurable (no 90-day outcomes available). With Tesla trading at a P/E of 173.65 and the company posting revenue growth of +1.0% year-over-year against a market capitalization of $1,107.4B, this appears to be part of a broader series of planned liquidations rather than an isolated transaction signal.

Tesla CFO Vaibhav Taneja sold 4,000 shares at $300.00 on 2025-05-09 for $1.2M, reducing stake to 26,949 shares.

Vaibhav Taneja, Tesla's Chief Financial Officer, sold 4,000 shares (4.0K shares) at $300.00 on 2025-05-09, reducing his holdings by 12.9% from 30,949 to 26,949 shares. The transaction occurred when TSLA was trading substantially below its 52-week high, currently at $334.07 versus the $479.86 52-week peak, representing a -30.4% distance from the high. His cross-ticker track record shows 20 prior sells with an average 30-day return of -2.2%, and prior TSLA trades on 2025-05-01 lack measurable 30- and 90-day outcome data. The sale follows a significant recent price recovery (+32.4% over 30 days), positioning this transaction within a volatile trading environment where the company carries a P/E of 168.72 on revenue of $19.3B and net income of $409.0M.
