I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Tesla (Aachen) in May 2022
Interview
Instead of getting asked usual questions, I got three scientific papers to read and had 6 hours time to answer a multiple choice test. This was very stupid and did not fir with the things i applied for. They "just" gave me the test. Everything in english even though I applied for mechanical design internship at Tesla germany.
