I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Tesla in Oct 2024
Interview
I had an initial call with the recruiter where we discussed some basic questions. In the second round, I had a 40-minute technical interview with the hiring manager. I received a rejection the next day.
Easy straightforward mechanical aptitude questions starting with HR screening about experience and couple of technical rounds and followed by a Panel round. The panel round was of 4 people toamke a presentation
I completed a first-round, 45-minute technical interview. It was over video call, and after a very brief check-in about my past experience and why I was interested at a surface level in the position (didn't ask me "Why Tesla?" like I was expecting), they jumped into technical questions.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Given the common specs for an EV (battery specs were chosen from a random Google-able EV), would you be able to make it on a full charged battery from point A to point B? It's X miles away, and you can ask me any questions you'd like.
