Stock Options

you get a chance to get some stocks when hired

not much compare to any company in the public market

Stock Options are really good at Tesla

Great Stock options but they are not doing great now

RSU's are given during your hire date and promotions

Stock options are exciting. Unfortunately they come with a strike price and vest over 4 years. Probably very few people last 4 years at Tesla. Bad news aside, those options will give you a glimmer of hope during the daily turmoil and madness even though they will be essentially worthless when you are eventually laid off or fired for "poor performance."

You can buy stock, depend of you

The stock options are ok. They give you a small amount.

RSU's are great. If you need cash as a bonus, they started to offer this as an option.
