Fallbeispiel Tesla: Wie Digitalisierung Alte Märkte Revolutioniert – Neue Folge von „Die Digitalisierung und Wir“

Tesla digital: Wie Digitalisierung traditionelle Märkte revolutioniert
Tesla digital: Wie Digitalisierung traditionelle Märkte revolutioniert

In der neuesten Episode unseres Podcasts „Die Digitalisierung und Wir“ nehmen Florian Ramseger und ich unsere Hörer mit auf eine faszinierende Reise durch die Geschichte von Tesla. Unter dem Fokus „Tesla digital“ beleuchten wir nicht nur den bemerkenswerten Übergang des Unternehmens zur Elektromobilität, sondern auch die umfassende Rolle, die digitale Produkte und Prozesse in traditionellen Märkten spielen.

Tesla ist viel mehr als nur ein Automobilhersteller. Als Vertreter der ‚Tesla Digital‘-Philosophie, stellt das Unternehmen eine gelungene Symbiose aus fortschrittlicher Elektrotechnik und digitaler Innovation dar. Es ist dieser Fokus auf die Digitalisierung, der Tesla ermöglicht hat, herkömmliche Märkte zu revolutionieren und sich als ein Pionier der zukunftsfähigen Mobilität zu etablieren.

Begleiten Sie uns, während wir die Transformation von Tesla digital aufdecken und erkunden, wie das Unternehmen die Automobilindustrie neu definiert und den Weg für eine zunehmend digitale Zukunft bereitet.

Tesla: Digital-Philosophie wichtiger als E-Mobilität

EBIT-Margen von Tesla und anderen ausgewählten Autoherstellern
EBIT-Margen von Tesla und anderen ausgewählten Autoherstellern

Im Jahr 2003 legten die Elektroingenieure Martin Eberhard und Marc Tarpenning den Grundstein für Tesla Motors im sonnigen San Carlos, Kalifornien. Nur ein Jahr darauf stieg der heute weltbekannte Investor und Innovator Elon Musk mit ein. Heute dominiert Tesla als der profitabelste Autohersteller der Welt den Markt, eine beeindruckende Errungenschaft angesichts der starken Konkurrenz durch etablierte Automarken.

In dieser Podcast-Episode analysieren Florian und ich, wie Tesla die Autoindustrie revolutionierte und sich an der Spitze positionierte. Interessanterweise spielt die Elektrifizierung hierbei eine eher untergeordnete Rolle. Die wahre Kraft von Tesla liegt in seiner digitalen Ausrichtung. Es war das erste Auto, das speziell auf die Bedürfnisse der Digital Natives zugeschnitten war und demonstriert eindrucksvoll, wie Unternehmen mit digitalen Produkten und Prozessen alte Märkte neu definieren können. Tesla hat es geschafft, sich von einem einfachen Elektroautohersteller zu einem Pionier der digitalen Transformation zu entwickeln, und setzt damit neue Maßstäbe in der Automobilindustrie.
