  • This is the story of how Tesla shaped my life, motivated me be more sustainable, and become an educator in the Electric Vehicle industry. I spent 2 years working for the company as a Product Specialist and honestly, it was some of the best years of my life so far. This is a long video, but if you have ever wondered why I am so passionate about the brand, this video explains it!

    I am currently looking to work at my tesla showroom, but I'm 18 fresh out of high school. I had such a similar experience getting into Tesla and being the "Tesla guy" in my High School. I convinced my dad to get one when the Y came out. Not sure if I will get a job there right now but it was my dream when I was 14-15.

    I am very proud of you and rather jealous. I’ve been in love with since before they had any vehicles. In my state, we have been very slow getting into EVs, sad to say. My dream car for a while was a P85D. That changed when I started seeing a few around town. For me they are way tooo big. Then that beautiful Model 3 came out. My new dream car. Unfortunately it is so far beyond my budget, I don’t think I will ever have that dream realized. I tried applying to Tesla for a remote position, but I don’t have any experience they required for it. So instead, I bought stock. I have so much pride for all EVs, that I bought stock in every company that makes EVs. Thank you for being an amazing human being. Keep getting that message out, electric vehicles are the future and one of the easiest ways to help save planet.

      Hi Joey,
      Thank you so much for your comment and I apologize that it took me a few days to get back to you. I can’t tell you how much your comment means to me, because I started in a very similar position to you when it came to dreaming of owning a Tesla to working for them, and finally after many years of hard work, getting the chance to own a Model 3.
      I’ve been having a difficult time recently (feeling burnt out) but your comment really inspires me to keep going and working hard to push EV education and increase adoption rates.
      It might be harder to get into Tesla now than it was when I worked for them, but the best thing I can say about getting into the EV industry is to keep trying. What is your background in? I might be able to help guide you in the right direction if you’d be open to it!
      Hope we can chat! - Brandan

    Question ErrrdayEV! How come after all that experience as product specialist, and finishing ur IT at Kent , and also getting more exp at Cardinal health, etc and going back to Tesla. How come u didnt then pursuit IT within Telsa? and relocate in to Cali, or east coast? I cannot see how with ur pedigree and passion and true love for the mission as they call it, that u did not transition within Tesla with ur finished IT and further exp from Cardinal Health?
