I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Tesla (Palo Alto, CA)
Interview
I was referred by a friend and received a call from the recruiter a few weeks later. The recruiter was very accommodating and courteous. He sent a list of standard HR questions before our intro call. On the call he asked about my experience in cells and my responsibilities in my previous positions. Within a few days, I was scheduled to talk with a manager from the team. After introductions, he went straight into technical questions. They are very similar to another major Silicon Valley company. While I answered the questions, the manager was typing as much of my response as possible. There were many questions and topics for a 30 min call so it forces you to be on your toes. The next round was another one-on-one with a team member who again quizzed me on some engineering fundamentals. Similar to the first call he was typing everything I said and it felt like the questions were from a standard list that they chose from including the follow-up questions. Unfortunately, I received feedback a few days later indicating I was not the right fit. Hope my experience can help others.

If you had a hot coffee mug in a room, what information would you need to derive the heat transfer equations?
Horrible experience. It was more of a 1 hour humiliation call than an interview. The man was asking questions non stop and would until he found an area I didn't have a lot of experience (not required or mentioned in the position) and he started asking more about that, even laughed at me.
