I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Tesla in July 2018
Interview
Typical phone interview to go over past experiences etc. once you are picked to move onto a second interview, you are sent an NDA, and a link to reserve a time for an on-site interview. I showed up early to the interview and it didn’t seem as though the manager was prepared to speak with me. They finally were ready 20 minutes after my initial meeting was supposed to start. After a few minutes in the second interview, I was told by the manager that I was speaking to that they were brand new and had no previous experience in the automotive industry. They also told me that they weren’t sure what they were even looking for in a candidate. We went over salary and commissions, which was WAY LOWER than market average for “Luxury” brands, despite my nearly 8 years of experience, including experience in Automotive and tech industries. I was cut off and ignored for most of the interview as the person interviewing me was reading from a notebook and not listening to what I was saying. Felt like this interview was a total waste of time. Got an email a couple days later that they were going a different direction. If you’re looking for a rewarding career, I’d look elsewhere.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How would you deal with clients who are looking for a luxury experience and have money to spend?
Asked what car I would buy if money wasn't a concern. Met with 2 different location managers and was offered but declined. It was a very good experience and they were very thorough with expectations on salary, commitment, and career projection.

Interview process was indept, explained clearly what the day involved and briefly what the job involved but did not notify us that we would also become members of a call center
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Tesla (New York, NY) in Sept 2018
Interview
Arrived 15 minutes early only to wait until 10 min after to be seen late. My interview was slotted for a half an hour. The questions were simple but I was mislead. I was told that I would be interviewing with 2 not 3 people. Probably should've walked out when they were late but I figured I would give them a chance. My interview was abruptly cut short by 10 min and one interviewer in particular was rude and cold. You dont whisper behind someones back when they are still in ears range walking out. Super unprofessional and disturbing. Luckily I am coming in with a job, a great life and family. I shudder to think how someone down on their luck or dealing with a recent tragedy would have felt walking out. For shame. A total waste of my precious time.
