Six years ago, I went to a job interview at Tesla. There were over 500 applicants, and the process started with a group interview alongside 4-5 other candidates. I made it through the first two rounds of cuts, but then I was let go.

After being cut, a manager pulled me aside and gave me advice that stuck with me. He said, “You have the desire, the knowledge, and the effort to do this job. But the problem is, you have no industry experience, and you’re competing against people with 20+ years in the field.”

That moment hit hard, but I took it to heart and used it as fuel to grow. Since then, I’ve been an 88M (Motor Transport Operator) in the Army National Guard, worked at a dealership, gained experience in sales, pulled a Tesla out of a junkyard and restored it, and enrolled as a student at Universal Technical Institute.

Recently, I applied for an internship at Tesla. After going through two interviews, they came back with unexpected news: “We’d rather start you as a permanent employee than a temporary intern.” Even more incredible, the person who gave me that advice six years ago remembered me and recognized how far I’d come.

Today, I’m proud to say I’m officially working at Tesla. This journey has taught me that hard work, persistence, and a willingness to learn really do pay off—even if it takes years.

To anyone chasing a dream, keep pushing. The time and effort you put in can lead to opportunities when you least expect them.

@Daniel_BATS99 Hey! How else is he supposed to be able to retire and live comfortably in California?

@TeslaPhx Would also believe that you are in the ER because you forgot you had a cybertruck in summer and touched the metal on the outside!

I own my cellphone. Does that mean I shouldn’t have to pay Verizon for phone services?

@lakshyalark @28delayslater Not even close to a double standard. One is ugly with a purpose (cybertruck) the other is ugly because… well not sure and it has a hole in the. Front!

Also yes from that angle they look similar but any other angle and they are massively different!

I was so disappointed in @Ferrari until I saw this post and then it made sense!

It isn’t the world’s ugliest EV it is a 1000hp computer mouse!

@TeslaPhx @Scivf4 What thermal paste? What dielectric solvent solution?

[Mikepc @Mikepc1988]

@DarKnightEntity That is the internet in general!

[Mikepc @Mikepc1988]

@DarKnightEntity You are already clinically insane! Doesn’t that make this challenge impossable?

@congressdj @JPINVESTS23 The bigger question is how does it exist? How is it in any way shape or form have any say in what rewards a company chooses to give you?
