A friend of a friend gave my resume to an engineering team, then I was contacted by a recruiter about 2 weeks later to set up a phone interview with an engineer from the team.
I think this website was actually a lot of help - made sure to review my resume thoroughly, practiced short answers to the most common questions on here, and I tried to focus on my skills rather than why I want to work for Tesla, because I read that's the focus of these "team" interviews.
The call lasted about 30 minutes, and went as expected. Introduction, questions about my resume, one technical problem, then a chance to ask questions.
For the technical problem - I think they are looking more for broad, common engineering knowledge and thinking process. There were no trick questions, and the interviewer offered help. Received an offer a few days after the call.

How could you find the energy a piece of a car frame absorbs during a crash?
Invited me to an interview then ghosted me after I gave availability. They never scheduled the interview. When I followed up, the recruiter didn’t responded to my email. Not sure what happened
My interview was scheduled for about five days after the initial email from my recruiter. It was two 30 minute interviews with members of the prospective team. Standard questions were asked about me, my experiences, and why I think I am a good fit for the role.

1 technical interview followed by a recruiter call if you get the offer. The process was very fast and very simple. Highly recommend applying. The technical interview was amazing, and the interviewer was very understanding if i did not get the answer.
