I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Tesla (Fremont, CA) in Aug 2019
Interview
Referred by a friend and applied on line for the Production Associate position. Received an email a few days later to schedule a phone interview with a recruiter. The phone interview was fairly easy going as the recruiter asked about work history, experiences and information about the position. She even asked if I had experience with hand tools. After phone interview, recruiter wanted to schedule a in-person interview at the factory. She even gave me some pointers on what to do and say during the interview process and sent me links to do research about the company.

Great, the process was quick and easy. First with recruiter then onsite group interview, 4 people with a hiring manager. Questions were mainly about yourselves. Understand Tesla's mission is a brownie point.
The interview Process was not all that difficult. It was pretty straightforward and easy. My interview was over the phone since it was barely post COVID. It wasn't as nerve wrecking as it would have been if it were in person
