Did you know Tesla once worked with SAP?

You probably know Tesla as an innovation powerhouse — but did you know about its hidden history with enterprise systems? At one point, Elon Musk’s company relied on SAP, until they made a radical decision that changed their trajectory forever.

In our latest video, expert Jorge Monzonís breaks down the story behind one of the boldest and most debated decisions in the tech industry:

Why did TESLA eliminate SAP?

Through Jorge Monzonís’ analysis, you’ll learn how Tesla came within just two days of bankruptcy in 2008, and how that extreme crisis forced them to rethink their entire operational backbone. You’ll also hear the incredible story of the engineer who initially turned down Elon Musk over salary, only to later accept the challenge for less money — becoming a key figure in the transition.

The core issue was simple: SAP couldn’t deliver the speed or hyper‑integration Tesla needed for its direct‑to‑consumer model. The solution? They built their own ERP, called Warp Drive, in a record‑breaking four months — when the industry standard is 18 to 24 months.

This bold move gave Tesla a level of operational agility that traditional manufacturers still envy. But it also raises the uncomfortable question: if Tesla could abandon SAP and succeed, why don’t other companies do the same?

Jorge Monzonís explains it clearly in the video, breaking down the culture, speed, and resources required to make a leap of this magnitude. Don’t miss this fascinating story about achieving total control over your processes.
