"My Aunt is an auto mechanic. She taught me everything about working on cars. She also runs a non-profit called Gearing Up For The Future. They teach at-risk youth the skills of being an auto-mechanic, from changing out capacitors on motherboards to changing out a head gasket. I saw the good work she was doing and volunteered with her a lot."

Those at Tesla feel very strongly about their global impact and about helping communities worldwide. They have also recruited volunteers to help them with several of their own altruistic pursuits. They ask this question in the interview to gauge your volunteerism and to see to what degree you already embrace similar values to theirs.
