You need to know first principles really well to receive an offer. the way you answer a question matters more. it was a panel interview and took several hours however im glad it went well

I interviewed with Tesla and had a smooth and well-organized experience from the HR side. The technical round focused on design and scenario-based questions. While the questions were relevant, I found it challenging to fully understand some of the scenarios as they were being explained. I did ask for clarification, but there still seemed to be a communication gap during the discussion. Because of this, I felt my responses may not have reflected my actual technical ability and the situation didn’t fully allow me to perform at my best. Overall, still a valuable experience and I appreciate the opportunity.
