Hello, I am a graduate student in electrical engineering. I am nuts about cars and for a person like me tesla is the holy grail. If possible, I want to work at tesla after my graduate studies. I needed to know what courses could help me increase my chances of securing an internship or a job at tesla. I hope to major in embedded systems and am currently confused between energy systems & devices and design of digital control systems.
Just to be sure, I assume you have already studied this page and video?

Tesla offers internships for current students according to their career page. Check the listings for jobs at Palo Alto HQ. There's a listing for an intern in firmware engineering (not quite the same as embedded systems, but still). You could probably appply now.
You may or may not have a legitimate gripe with Tesla, but there's no way you can make yourself look good doing this here, in this manner (and it's not really going to make Tesla look bad either).

Are you saying Elon is not a lawful permanent resident of the U.S. It's OR, not AND.
I think he is saying that he can't work for SpaceX, so he is applying to Tesla.
In case anyone was curious, my previous post was in response to a post that has since been deleted.
Can anyone explain the third clause: "Eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State." ?
What does that mean for foreigner wanting to work at SpaceX?
I'm guessing just good references, and not being in NSA or CIA radar.
