Tesla says to add 1,000 jobs in Germany
Elon Musk’s automotive and robotics company Tesla said Thursday that it would hire more than 1,000 people in Germany, a rare bright spot in the country’s struggling auto industry.
A thousand employees will be added at Tesla’s factory outside Berlin by the end of June, a company spokeswoman told AFP, confirming plans first reported by the German press agency DPA.
The hires would increase weekly production by 20%, she said, calling them “a direct response to increased demand” for Tesla’s Model Y SUV.
