June 25 (Reuters) - ‌Tesla said ​on ​Thursday that production at its Berlin ‌plant will rise by 20% ⁠to 7,500 vehicles per week ‌from October this year.

Tesla ‌said the planned increase in production means it will ​recruit a further 1,000 employees.

The company already announced ⁠a capacity increase at the plant ​company in April to meet higher demand for the ​Model Y.

In May, ‌it said it would increase its investment ⁠in battery cell production at the plant.

The three announcements ⁠mean that a total of 3,500 ​additional jobs will be created in the short and medium term for ‌vehicle and battery manufacturing at the plant, ‌the company said.
