  • Interns must be available full time on site for at least twelve weeks.
  • Work authorization is required for the country where the internship is located; Tesla says sponsorship may be available, but the selected role controls.
Easy to miss

Our editorial advice · not employer requirements

How to prepare a stronger application

Show ownership of a difficult project: the constraint, the action you personally took, the failure or trade-off, and the result.

For technical work, make testing and safety visible; for operations or business work, show the process and measurable evidence behind your decision.
