I applied in-person. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Tesla (Portland, OR) in Jul 2016
Interview
Ludicrous speed interview process. I was dizzy after the interview with so many questions. They asked me all kinds of questions ranging from current understanding of the vehicles to government regulation understanding.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
What one thing would you change in the government to help increase electric car adoption?
It was casual and informal. I found that the managers were not very focused and seemed to lack professionalism. I'd recommend asking them more questions about the position and what it can offer you. There will be alot of sales force
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Are you willing to work beyond normal businesses hours.
The interview process was straight forward, but they were unresponsive following. I did follow up, but the recruiter did not make any effort to return my reach outs. I was kind of confused as i thought this was a pretty prompt high standard company.

Question 1
They asked very open ended questions, pretty generic for band knowledge.
The group interview will do a lot of role-play and will ask to sell me something. They also ask open questions, like, Can you tell me about your sales experience? How do you approach generating new leads and closing deals? How do you handle rejection and what motivates you to exceed sales targets? Also, question about Tesla products.
