What do I need to know to do well as an intern at Tesla?

Understand the task. Perform it within deadlines and ask for help if you get stuck. People are very helpful and kind. Do not shy away from asking questions. Learn their department specific knowledge and act on it while you are working there as an intern

You don't need to have many skills as an intern, just the basics like knowledge of EHS, Microsoft Office (ppt, word, excel), multi-task, and strong communication skills. You'll be successful if you do what you are asked by your managers and have it ready on time.
