Tesla, the leading innovator in electric vehicles (EVs), has just opened a new store in Exeter, and invited automotive students from Bridgwater and Taunton College (BTC) for an exclusive insight day. Following on from this, Tesla came to BTC to give the students another insight into some Tesla models and delivered a presentation about potential career paths.

During this unique experience both at the Tesla store and at the college, BTC automotive students had the opportunity to explore Tesla’s latest electric vehicles up close.

They engaged in interactive sessions, gaining firsthand knowledge about the technology, design, and engineering that underpin these cutting-edge vehicles. The students also had the chance to ask in-depth questions about electric vehicles, learning directly from Tesla’s experts about the intricacies of EV technology and the future of automotive innovation.

“Going to the new Tesla showroom was an insightful experience. It gave me more knowledge of how advanced Tesla is as a company. I got to see inside the Tesla workshop, and the employees were enthusiastic to answer our questions. The entire experience was exciting and engaging overall.”- Leo (Automotive student)

The Tesla team provided insights into the importance of electric vehicles in tackling environmental challenges and the role they play in the future of transportation. Students also learned about career opportunities in the EV sector, aligning with BTC’s commitment to providing industry-relevant education and practical experiences.

The event underscores Tesla’s commitment to education and community engagement, highlighting the importance of industry-academia partnerships in preparing students for the demands of the modern workforce.
