Wilson-Thompson Kathleen

Tesla director Kathleen Wilson-Thompson exercises options, then liquidates nearly all shares same day in systematic pattern.

Director Kathleen Wilson-Thompson exercised a large option grant and immediately sold nearly all shares acquired in a single-day multi-tranche liquidation. This is a classic tax-efficient exercise-and-sell pattern—common when directors receive options as compensation and need cash or want to reduce concentration risk. The systematic nature of the sale (17 tranches at progressively higher prices) suggests algorithmic execution rather than reactive decision-making. While the overall transaction volume exceeded routine thresholds, the structure itself—acquiring shares only to sell them same-day—carries no signal of insider confidence in Tesla's direction. The company remains profitable but faces revenue pressure year-over-year, and the stock is trading well below its recent highs, yet this director's behavior reflects compensation liquidity management, not a conviction bet on the business.

Director Kathleen Wilson-Thompson sold 25,809 shares (43.3% of holdings) across 15 tranches for $9,273,888.39 on 2026-03-30.

On March 30, 2026, Tesla director Kathleen Wilson-Thompson executed 15 separate sales totaling 25,809 shares for $9,273,888.39, reducing her holdings by 43.3% from 59,669 to 33,860 shares. The blended average price of $359.33 represents a discount to the current price of $381.26, and recent TSLA price action shows a 5.5% 30-day decline and 15.2% 90-day decline. Her cross-ticker track record shows 20 prior sells with a 100% well-timed rate at the 90-day mark (average 90d return -41.7%), indicating strong historical pattern recognition for sell timing, though her 5 most recent same-ticker sales in late February 2026 showed 30-day declines of -12.3% to -13.6% post-execution. The scale and multi-tranche structure of this sale, combined with the substantial dollar magnitude and historical sell-timing accuracy across her portfolio, warrant attention to whether this signals broader conviction shifts.

Director Wilson-Thompson Kathleen sells 25,731 shares at $415.56 avg for $10.7M; reduces stake 56.7% while stock down 17.8% from 52-week high

Wilson-Thompson Kathleen (Director) executed 7 separate sales totaling 25,731 shares for $10,692,813.53 on 2026-02-25, reducing her Tesla holdings from 45,400 to 19,669 shares (a 56.7% reduction in position size). The blended average transaction price of $415.56 occurred as Tesla traded near the lower end of its 52-week range, down 17.8% from the $489.88 high and showing a 30-day decline of -6.7%. Her prior trades at TSLA (5 prior sells, all from 2025-01-06) consistently achieved negative 90-day returns ranging from -7.0% to -43.2%, with 5 of 5 prior sales at this ticker well-timed by the 90-day measure. This filing reflects a substantial liquidation of a director-level position at a time of near-52-week lows and recent price momentum deterioration.

Director Wilson-Thompson sold 100,000 shares for $41.2M across 23 transactions on 2025-01-06, reducing holdings by 94.9%

Director Kathleen Wilson-Thompson executed 23 separate sales totaling 100,000 shares for $41,162,798.62 on 2025-01-06, reducing her TSLA holdings from 105,400 to 5,400 shares (-94.9% vs pre-transaction holdings). The sales were executed across a narrow price range of $402.84 to $426.14, with a blended average price of $411.63. This represents a substantial liquidation of a directorial position, with the current stock price at $394.94 now trading 17.7% below the 52-week high of $479.86. Wilson-Thompson's prior trades at TSLA (5 distinct sells on 2024-12-04) showed 30-day returns ranging from +16.2% to +17.5%, establishing a pattern of near-term positive price movement following her sales. The magnitude and concentration of this liquidation—occurring in a single day across multiple tranches—signals a material reduction in her stake and differs notably from her recent smaller-scale transactions.

Director Kathleen Wilson-Thompson sold 100,000 shares of TSLA on 2024-12-04 for $35.3M, reducing holdings by 94.9%.

Director Kathleen Wilson-Thompson executed 10 separate sales totaling 100,000 shares for $35,253,875.28 on a single day (2024-12-04), with prices ranging from $349.20 to $357.93 and a blended average of $352.54. This liquidation reduced her holdings from 105,400 shares to 5,400 shares—a 94.9% reduction—leaving minimal equity exposure. The timing occurred in the midst of a strong bullish period for Tesla: the stock has risen 34.9% over 30 days and 84.7% over 90 days, now trading at $389.22, only 0.0% below its 52-week high. The sale price of $352.54 sits significantly below the current market price, meaning the insider sold well before the recent rally peaked. Her cross-ticker track record shows 20 prior sells with no measurable timing pattern documented, and her same-ticker history at TSLA includes 5 prior trades all executed on 2024-11-11 (outcomes not yet measurable). The scale of this single-day liquidation and the absence of material remaining equity interest warrant investor attention.

Director Kathleen Wilson-Thompson sells 100,000 TSLA shares (94.9% of holdings) for $34.6M via 22 transactions on 2024-11-11

Kathleen Wilson-Thompson, a Tesla director, executed 22 separate sales totaling 100,000 shares for $34,602,453.93 on 2024-11-11, reducing her stake from 105,400 shares to 5,400 shares—a 94.9% reduction in holdings. The sales occurred across a price range from $336.95 to $358.35, with a blended average price of $346.02, while the current price stands at $330.24, placing the execution within 5.6% of the 52-week high of $350.00. This represents a material liquidation of her direct ownership and warrants examination of whether 10b5-1 plan governance applied or whether this reflects discretionary positioning tied to broader board-level capital allocation or personal liquidity decisions. The scale, execution pattern, and timing relative to Tesla's recent 50.7% 30-day rally and 54.2% 90-day surge merit scrutiny from a governance and signaling perspective.
