I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Tesla (Fremont, CA) in Apr 2018
Interview
I went to a hiring event, met someone who talked about himself half the time. He barely asked me any questions and they were all personal and had nothing to do with the job or prior jobs or experience. I asked about the position (hours, base pay, average commissions, etc), and he looked at the portfolio I had brought. Talked maybe 10 minutes. I got a call for onboarding the next day. They lied to me about pretty much everything, especially the hours and the commissions, I had to find that out the hard way.

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Tesla in Aug 2017
Interview
This was in interview for a contract position - not a full-time Tesla employee. That may or may not be different. I suspect it is. My interview came about as a referral of a person who works for Tesla and recommended me as a potential contractor. The rest was up to me. The interview dealt with my knowledge of manufacturing processes and how I would control. Then a discussion of what my charge would be and travel limitations. I provided references (written) even tho they were not asked for. The inteview process was a phone call (brief). then meet in a restaraunt (halfway point for each of us) and talk for about 90 minutes. Conversational.
