I applied in-person. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Tesla in Apr 2017
Interview
After meeting with a Store Manager and submitting my application, I was contacted by a regional hiring manager and spent a couple weeks scheduling and rescheduling a phone call (which I thought would be an interview). It turns out the Tesla stores don't hire seasonal employees (i.e. a summer term for a college student), so after a 5 minute chat, that was it. I'll be in touch with the company for opportunities after I graduate, though.
Other Product Specialist interview reviews for Tesla
It was casual and informal. I found that the managers were not very focused and seemed to lack professionalism. I'd recommend asking them more questions about the position and what it can offer you. There will be alot of sales force
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Are you willing to work beyond normal businesses hours.
The interview process was straight forward, but they were unresponsive following. I did follow up, but the recruiter did not make any effort to return my reach outs. I was kind of confused as i thought this was a pretty prompt high standard company.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They asked very open ended questions, pretty generic for band knowledge.
The group interview will do a lot of role-play and will ask to sell me something. They also ask open questions, like, Can you tell me about your sales experience? How do you approach generating new leads and closing deals? How do you handle rejection and what motivates you to exceed sales targets? Also, question about Tesla products.
