Tesla Inside Sales interview questions

4x interviews: They just wanted to hear that I'll never try to go to another department and that I am in love with Tesla. Many times they tried to get me to say I'm looking to go somewhere else or get a new job. I said that I might eventually want to look into Human Resource jobs at Tesla Motors and for two days I was on the phone trying to convince them that I didn't mean it. They almost didn't give me the job. Still 1/3 people don't even stay in sales from what I see they've go one to other departments in the company.

Brief, phone interview followed by an in person panel then a 1:1. This was back in 2009 so Tesla was just a small company. They were looking for committed phone sales people on the ground floor.
