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."

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.

Stock options are awarded upon hire that vest over 4 years (25% in year one and then 16.25% each quarter until all have been awarded).

I’ve never used this benefit because it hasn’t been offered very often. They typically offer for RSU or stock purchase plans

This varies. Stock is awarded with promotions but not with much else. If you are lucky enough to get shares, it is a nice perk.
