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.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Tesla in Feb 2016
Interview
Very short, and a bit unprofessional.
I had a pleasant enough experience with the recruiter in California. When I reached the store manager in Texas via video chat it was clear from the first second she already had a decision in mind. The entire interview lasted less than 5 minutes, and thats only because I asked questions. She had a total of three questions for me before indicating she was finished with the interview.
Based on my experience with the store leadership, I wouldn't have accepted a offer from Tesla (not that one was extended). The process left a sour taste in my mouth about Tesla in general.
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.
