Tesla Mechanical Design Engineer interview questions

First I was introduced to an engineering manager, then I talked to a hiring manager about different roles that were available and if they might be a good fit. She then scheduled a time for me to talk with some members of the engineering team which is where the questions were more technical. The next steps (which I didn’t make it to) would have been a design challenge and in-person presentation.

Applied early on a Monday and got a call in the afternoon (Phone Screening). I was asked the most common and important question, "Why Tesla?" (they look for creative and genuine answers).
