I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Tesla (New York, NY) in Jun 2020
Interview
I received an email from HR and a video call was arranged for 30 mins interview call with two guys simultaneously asking questions.
They didn't ask me anything related to my resume or introduction. They started firing questions related to supply Chain
I was asked to schedule a slot whether I had 30 min interview call with the hiring manager. He asked about my background and some general stuff. He also asked about my experience in dealing with suppliers.

I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Tesla (Fremont, CA)
Interview
they did not really interview for a long time and ask many questions, so better prepare well since you only get 1 shot from the interviewer. Be aware to understand your applied role, and how your previous experience/ skills would be able to transfer to the internship. Also make sure that you understand well enough the background of the team, and ask questions that demonstrate your understand. It is okay to be subjective since it is also a way for them to understand your thought process.
