I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Tesla (Fremont, CA) in Mar 2016
Interview
After a phone conversation with recruiter I had phone call interview with hiring manager. Then onsite interview with 7 people mostly engineers in my team. Overall very comfortable and great conversations. Everybody was nice and friendly.
It was good and a lot of shop floor experience and a good manufacturing background. Overall, I would say if you prefer on floor job, this would be a great fit
I applied online. I interviewed at Tesla (San Francisco, CA) in Sep 2024
Interview
Not too hard. I had two interviews one with my manager and one with my mentor. Both where very chill with no behavioral questions just about the company and my resume.

I applied online. I interviewed at Tesla (Palo Alto, CA) in Apr 2024
Interview
2-3 screening interviews and then presentation interview with panel of 3-4 engineers, select subject of your interest and present. Panel member dropped after 20 minutes for unknown reason. Needless to say, it was Friday and they hate the process themselves.
