I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Tesla in Jun 2011
Interview
Had multiple rounds of interviews. Various types of questions including situational, behavioural and technical problems. Typically one HR interview and then one techincal, then one managerial. Nothing fancy, or unexpected, but the difficulty of questions may be tough during the technical interview. Keep your cool.

Very nice and very fast. Reach last interview with Senior Director. He asked me how to launch a battery assembly line. I explained but not enough I guess. Quality manager was great and the team was also amazing. Very technical and deep conversations.
