I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Tesla (Reno, NV) in Aug 2017
Interview
It was a phone interview. I was first asked to complete an online technician exam that took about 10 minutes. After I completed the exam I had a brief 15 minute interview with a recruiter. They told me I would hear back within the week. I was never contacted or responded to after several attempts at reaching out to the recruiter.

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Tesla (Dubai) in July 2025
Interview
A Tesla interview is fast-paced, technical, and focused on innovation. Candidates are expected to demonstrate problem-solving skills and a deep understanding of their field. The process often includes multiple rounds, such as phone screens, technical interviews, and a final panel or on-site session. Interviewers value first-principles thinking and alignment with Tesla’s mission. Passion, self-motivation, and the ability to work under pressure are key traits they look for.
Easy and understandable with ease of the hiring manager. I really enjoyed the interview with a passion. I was greeted very fairly with respect and honor which in turn made me want to go on with the interview and work for the company
