During my 4 month internship at Tesla in the San Francisco Bay Area, I got a chance to design, manufacture, test and integrate many components that are today a part of Model S 3 X. Most important – I saw Elon Musk! I share few images and overview here.

Project List

• Design/modifications of high volume injection molded fasteners
• Design/modifications of high volume cold formed fasteners
• Bolted joint relaxation characterization (coupon-level test)
• Residual torque loss characterization (coupon-level test)
• Highly accelerated testing of bolted joints
• Reliability testing/bench-marking of threaded inserts
• Supporting new product introduction automation trials
• Process optimization of Model 3 door line
