1. Dear
Elon,
We need to talk.

2. First of all,
let’s be clear.
You know what
you’re doing.
And you’re doing
just great.
No need to argue on that.

6. But what I’d really want
to talk about is Tesla Motors.
Single-handedly responsible for
making electric cars sexy, Tesla
is disrupting the automotive
industry. For real.
Only one way up from here.
The future is green.
Let’s be honest, you knew that, didn’t you?

7. When looking for a new
challenge, it was a no-brainer.
I wanted to work for Tesla.
The vision to start from scratch,
the unprecedented market
approach, built around the
driver, clean...
You got me on hello.
Really.

8. So when construction started for
a local Tesla Store nearby, I
stepped up.
I scanned the job section for
openings, and applied.
My goal was to get in, prove
myself, and work my way up
from there.
Hey, at least I’m honest ;-)

9. And guess what !
I got a phone call from the
UK office, and an interview
was scheduled.
I smiled throughout the rest
of the day. And the next. And
the next. And then some.
Yeah baby. Yeah.

10. But, alas.
Another phone call. `
Short message.
...OVERQUALIFIED...
Not Amused. Seriously.

11. But I wasn’t going to let that
happen now, was I ?
No sir. Not impressed.
So I returned the call, had an
interesting conversation
about qualifications, goals
and passion, and guess what...
*imagine a drumroll here*

12. I got an interview at the
Tesla Factory in Tilburg... !
A positive outcome too.
Yes, I was overqualified, but I
was willing to prove myself.
Planning ahead: a final chat
in the US.
looking good, isn’t it?

13. But, alas. (2)
Instead of an invitation to the
US HQ, I got a phone call.
Again.
“Not enough experience in
the automotive industry”.
you heard me.

15. So Elon,
Here’s what I would like to
know.
Does it really take
“automotive experience”
to work at Tesla?
Honestly?

16. Because in my opinion,
you’re not selling cars.
You’re selling a new way of
transportation.
In an unprecedented manner,
a one-on-one relationship
with customers.

17. My guess is you’re not
looking for the next average
‘used car salesman’.
You’re looking for talented,
passionate people. People like
me, smitten by the Tesla
brand.
Will you settle for passion?

18. As I’m a proactive, hands-on kinda guy,
I’ve got my passport ready for an
upcoming US visit.
But, alas. (3). I’m feeling a tad bit
‘dumped’. So Elon, here’s a challenge
for you first: find me. That shouldn’t be
too hard...
And oh, if Jay should need this
TeslaMotors account, just let me know...
Kind regards,
Your next passionate employee.

19. And hey, you, yeah you. Dear reader...
You’ve held on all the way to this very
end. I hope that means you’ve had a bit
fun reading this. And hopefully you
support my cause.
Are you working at Tesla? Or do you
know someone who does? Or are you
an Tesla driver or EV enthousiast ?
Then you know what to do next ;-)
Sharing is caring !
