BERLIN (Reuters) - Electic vehicle maker Tesla will stop production at its German plant in Gruenheide for five days in June to improve processes in the factory outside Berlin, a spokesperson said on Tuesday.

Confirming a report by business daily Handelsblatt, the spokesperson said Tesla would pause production in the vehicle production and powertrain areas on June 7, 14, 17, 27 and 28.

Tesla has already paused production at the site twice this year.

There was a one-day planned production shutdown in May while an arson attack in March stopped work for days.
