Product Knowledge Intern Consider before submitting an application: International Students: If your work authorization is through CPT, please consult your school on your ability to work 40 hours per week before applying. You must be able to work 40 hours per week on-site. Many students will be limited to part-time during the academic year. This position is expected to start January or February 2027 and continue through Winter/Spring term (ending approximately May 2027) or continuing into Summer 2027 if available and there is an opportunity to do so.

We pride ourselves on creating fun, engaging, accessible, learner-friendly content that models Tesla culture and results in employees and customers alike feeling confident in and connected to Tesla's products. This educational content includes internal communications, reference guides, online courses, live instructor-led sessions, and, notably, videos. We cover vehicle offerings, their accessories, and the software and firmware that support them. We're a small, highly visible team with a large and important body of work. As such, the pace is fast and change is constant. We're always juggling multiple projects. We also benefit from a huge variety of work (no two weeks are the same) and we have fun doing it.
