The period balance: money in, money out
Across the Form 4 filings submitted between Aug 28, 2025 and Sep 9, 2026, Tesla, Inc. open-market activity adds up to 1 purchase worth $1.00B and 14 sales worth $163.3M. The net balance is $836.7M on the buy side.
Only codes P and S count, where an insider puts in or takes out their own money. A buying balance like Tesla, Inc.'s is the less common case in the S&P 500: its insiders are already paid in stock and still put in their own money. It is not a recommendation to buy or sell: it is what was filed.

How to read this data
6 of the 14 sales in the table are flagged as scheduled (10b5-1 plan): signed months ahead and executed automatically, so they say nothing about what the insider thinks today. Tesla's single open-market purchase (code P) is the rare signal: insiders are already paid in stock, so buying more means putting in their own money. The latest filing is from Sep 9, 2026, and a Form 4 arrives up to two business days after the trade.
20 of the 20 rows in the table carry footnotes from the Form 4 itself, folded into the code column and copied verbatim; a row with no footnote means the filing has none.

- Supply, demand and price: why it rises and falls constantlyHow a piece of news ends up inside the price, and why the reaction to a filed sale is rarely the one you would expect.
