TURN YOUR AUTOMOTIVE OBSESSION INTO A CAREER

Unplugged Performance is the world's leading builder of high-performance and luxury upgrades for Tesla. Every day, Tesla owners from around the world reach out to us to make their car faster, sharper, and more beautiful, and you'd be the person they talk to first. This isn't a call center. You'll spend your days helping real enthusiasts spec suspension, wheels, aero, and brakes for their cars, then walking alongside them from the first question through delivery and beyond. You're equally comfortable answering a DM in a Tesla owners group at 9pm as you are on the phone at 9am, because you know that's where the next customer is. If you love Teslas, love cars, and love the feeling of helping someone get exactly what they wanted, this role was built for you.

Tesla or EV knowledge is a big plus A real understanding of what makes a great customer experience, before the sale and long after it Serious organization. You keep a follow-up cadence, you don't let anyone fall through the cracks, and you close the loop every time A lot of patience. Enthusiasts ask a lot of questions, builds take time, and the best advisors stay steady through all of it Clear, friendly written and verbal communication, and a real drive to take care of people Comfort working in Excel, email, and web-based order and CRM systems Availability for occasional overtime and weekends during busy periods A valid California driver's license with a clean driving record, since you'll move customer cars A strong drive to be the best in the world at what you do Desire to work in-office 5 days a week with other awesome people

WHAT THIS ROLE IS REALLY LIKE

We'll be straight with you: this job is demanding. The volume is high, the customers are passionate and detail-oriented, and the standard we hold ourselves to is the highest in the industry. You'll juggle inbound leads, active builds, and post-sale follow-up at the same time. It's also one of the most rewarding seats in the business. You get to be the person who helps someone build their dream car, you build a real book of customers who come back and refer their friends, and your earnings are directly tied to how well you take care of them. The people who thrive here are the ones who genuinely enjoy the work, not just the paycheck.
