Is it time to sell whatever Tesla shares i e got or just leave it there for the long run? Dont like the way it is being looked at amd hit for a lack pf better word. Need some advice. Thanks 
That’s for you to decide.
Emotions are very bad financial advisors, unfortunately they are also very powerful and need to be tamed. How to answer your question, “sell now or later?” It depends on whether today’s price is better or worse than that future price. To answer that you need to figure out what Tesla might be worth in the future.
Figure out what Tesla might be worth in the future.
That’s your investing homework assignment.
Sorry I can’t be of more help.

If i or anyone could figure out things that easily or yet “figure it out” there would be no poor people because we could “figure” out whats going to be good or not. Unfortunately we ain’t magicians and we have to go with what is at hand hence i asked that question 
What information did you use when you decided to invest into Tesla shares? In order to decide whether or not to continue holding the shares, look at the same information and make a new decision. Like every other investment.

Actually went blindly. I see shares are up but again no clue how ots going to do now that theres so much conflict of interest
Just one data point that is worth considering (found on another board here):
“On February 6, Musk’s younger brother Kimbal, who sits on Tesla’s board, sold more than $27 million worth of shares in the company. Tesla chair Robyn Denholm sold about $43 million worth of Tesla stock in February and recently sold another $33 million. Tesla CFO Vaibhav Taneja has sold $8 million worth over the past 90 days. Yesterday, board member James Murdoch sold just over $13 million worth of stock.”
“Fred Lambert of Electrek, which follows the news about electric vehicles and Tesla, noted that Tesla stock dropped 15% yesterday, “down more than 50% from its all-time high just a few months ago.” “Tesla insiders are unloading,” he concluded.”
Now, maybe they had options that would expire worthless if they did not exercise them, but it certainly is not a great look while the price and sales figures are dropping.

Well look at their numbers, its oin the millions, I don’t think, on this forum anyone , well at least I, have them deep pockets. They stood to loose a lot, is with couple hundreds in, dont believe it would hurt us at all. Imho
Stop investing in stocks and buy index funds, never look at the market again.
I am dead serious. I invested like that, learned a little learned a little more. Ended up with a third of what I started with, but learned a lot.
Had I invested in index funds and never checked the market. I believe I would have 20
times what I have.
Seriously, blind men get robbed in the stock market. In fact, most get robbed by the insider traders. Only a very few succeed.

Which ones exactly? According to the insider tils we get from premium it highly suggests to buy stocks
That’s the rub. You don’t know which ones, exactly. So you buy them all.
Two things are true about the U.S. equities market:
-
At the very highest level of generality and over the longer terms, stocks tend to rise in value overall, and generally rise more than many other equity classes that individuals can efficiently invest in. Therefore, TMF (and others) recommend investing in stocks.
-
It is difficult to pick individual stocks that will outperform that general trend on a regular basis after accounting for the costs of transactions - so difficult that very, very few “stock pickers” demonstrate regular outperformance over the long run, and nearly all of those folks invest a great deal of time and resources into their efforts.
Taken together, those two points suggest that “amateur” investors should invest in stocks, but not try to pick winners and avoid losers. Instead, they should invest in stocks by buying index funds with very low administrative costs.

The detail left out, which may or may not be of any significance, is that this was about 5% of his Tesla shares.

Any insider sales must be considered in the context of their total holdings. $30M may seem like a lot, but if the person’s total holdings are $600M, then it is only 5% and hardly a signal of anything.

There’s a saying about insider sales. Insiders sell for many reasons, but they only buy for one reason. It could be that the person selling was investing into a new startup, or buying a big fancy home and some cars, or creating a trust for family members or for charity, or paying taxes, etc.
