Tesla Inc. Chair Robyn Denholm cashed in from a well-timed sale of shares this month, reaping more than $35 million from stock that soared after the US election.

Denholm exercised 112,390 stock options that were set to expire next year and sold the shares on Nov. 15, according to a regulatory filing. She prearranged the transactions in July through a trading plan that US company insiders can use to sell stock.
