Interview
I had 2 interviews (both had technical questions and questions about my experience) by 2 different people on the team I was applying for as an intern/co-op.
I was asked why I am interested in Tesla. I explained sections of my resume in detail and was asked questions about decisions I made for the projects I was involved in -- they were interested in seeing how much of the work on my resume was actually done by me vs other people. Both interviews ended with a series of technical questions (mechanics, materials, vibrations, fluids) where the setup of the question is related to structures that the team designs.

Question 1
What graph would you look at to see whether a material would fail from long-term exposure to vibrations?
Three part process, with a phone screen and take home. Talked with two engineers and hiring manager. Lots of physics questions and overview on projects done. Many steps and overall good experience.

Interview was fine. General design questions of SS curves and mechanics of materials. not hard. definitely know the basics and you will be fine also know general mechanical stuff for automotives

Started with 2 technical rounds. First one was basic MechE questions. Second round interviewer was in a hurry and not so open to listening your thought process. There were questions on electromechanical concepts as well
