Why this template works

Speed
execution is everything

Tesla's culture prizes velocity above almost everything else. Promotion cases need to show not just what you delivered, but how fast you moved and how many blockers you cleared. Shipping quickly with high quality is the gold standard.

Annual
review cycle

Tesla runs annual performance reviews, typically in the first quarter. Promotions are decided during calibration sessions where managers compare candidates across their organization. Mid-year check-ins provide course-correction opportunities.

First principles
core to culture

Tesla expects employees to reason from first principles rather than by analogy. Promotion cases should demonstrate instances where you challenged assumptions, simplified systems, or found novel solutions instead of following convention.
