Long story short, despite having a scheduled interview with the IT recruiter, he never called me:
- applied for the technical project manager position
- invited to interview for the technical program/product manager position
- sent availability, received an email that recruiter will call me via mobile (no calendar appointment)
- no call whatsoever during the scheduled appointment

Question 1
As mentioned, the recruiter set an appointment with me (for a position I didn't even apply to), never bothered calling, nor did he respond to my email follow-up.
Had a phone call with a recruiter and invited for onsite interviews. I was asked to prepare a PowerPoint presentation and spoke with a hiring manager and other team members. The hiring manager seemed like looking for someone who he knows or with a referral. Before going to interviewing it is better to know the hiring manager through networking.

Please bring your presentation and past work history.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Tesla (Fremont, CA) in Feb 2018
Interview
First, I had an online interview with the team leader, to assess my overall profile and fit. Then, I flew in to the company's Fremont location, where I had 4 back-to-back interviews with members of the team, which consisted of some technical aspects, but mostly about fit and previous experience.
