Autopilot team moves fast — draft PR expected by end of week 1. Interview trivia on my resume was real: they asked about a ROS project I barely remembered.

Two rounds total. HM call was chill team overview. Technical was class design for an in-vehicle settings module — they made me implement a method live after the diagram.

Factory floor is loud and weird and I liked it. System design was "design factory alert routing" not textbook CDN stuff. Whole process took 10 days start to offer.

PM internship at Tesla is product-heavy in a specific way. You're expected to understand the energy market, the regulatory environment, and the engineering constraints all at once. Good prep if you want to go into energy or hardware-adjacent product work.
