I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Tesla (Fremont, CA) in Mar 2018
Interview
Typical process. Applied online, recruiter reached out to me after one month. After he reached out to me, he set me up with a video conference with the hiring manager and later flew be down to Fremont for a physical interview. He did all that within 2 weeks time frame very efficiently! I haven't seen this fast and speed process anywhere else. It tells a lot about the company. Overall it was a fantastic experience.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why do you want to work for Tesla. Asking questions about my work experience. It was a very casual setting and at the same time technical.

Interview
Applied online, with a recommendation from someone in the department. Was contacted by a recruiter to schedule a phone interview which covered a very basic overview of skills/experience, and details of the position. The recruiter said he would like to have me speak with the hiring manager on the phone, and scheduled a time through email afterwards. Spoke with the hiring manager for about 30 mins, covering much of the same topics as with the recruiter, nothing technical. I was then invited to the Fremont facility to interview with 5 team members. The interviews were back to back, 30 mins each. Questions topics ranged depending on the interviewer but were mostly about experience, and very basic technical questions, nothing difficult. Did not receive and offer, but the hiring manager was honest to me about the reasons why. Interviewers and recruiters make you feel very comfortable during the whole process, and I even got a tour of the manufacturing facility.
