I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Tesla (Vancouver, WA) in Jan 2024
Interview
I applied online, the recruiter texted me for a time to meet, I went in the next day for the interview. The recruiter sent me a list of questions to prepare for the meeting, to which, I did my work and research and was very prepared. They pretty much stuck to the script but asked one or two questions that weren't listed. At the end I asked them what the competition was like, how many candidates there were and they said they were doing a few more interviews that week and that they had a candidate who is a friend of one of the Advisors. They asked me if I wanted to test drive a Tesla, which was a complete thrill. I thought things were looking up, we were all talking and laughing when I left. I was feeling pretty confident. When I got home I received an email saying they had passed on me. Such a quick turn around I thought. I am assuming they hired one of the Advisor's friends.

Question 1
Why Tesla, What's Cool About Tesla, Customer Service related questions.
One recruiting screen / interview and then a person interview with two workers. They asked the basic questions and behavior questions. It wasn't too hard nor difficult. If you prep, you'll do fine.
I applied online. I interviewed at Tesla (Eden Prairie, MN)
Interview
after applying, I received an email from their nationwide recruiter asking for my availability for the next 2 weeks to set up an interview.
I answered and received no response.
The following Monday I got the same email from the same recruiter, and this time my response got a response.
I came in and interviewed, it took about a half hour and was told that the GM would enter her notes into the system and then Tesla would decide from there if there would be a second interview.
At the end of the week I got an email that they were moving forward with someone more closely aligned, and was encouraged to try again in the future.

At least 3 to 4 rounds of interview with recruiter, manager and additional manager. make sure you know the mission and stand with their culture. Fast paced it went really quick.
