Tesla, Inc. (TSLA): "I Would Neverrrr Sell Tesla In This," Says Jim Cramer

We recently published a list of Jim Cramer Discusses Quantum Computing Stocks Among These 12 Stocks. In this article, we are going to take a look at where Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) stands against other stocks that Jim Cramer discusses.

Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) is the world’s largest pure-play electric vehicle manufacturer and a frequent feature of Cramer’s morning show. Even though the firm’s shares have been highly volatile in 2025, Cramer has been a believer most of the time. However, after frictions between Elon Musk and President Trump last week, Cramer took a cautious stance and wondered if holding on to Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA)’s shares was worth it. However, his latest discussion on Squawk on the Street saw him reverse the stance, much to the surprise of his co-hosts David Faber and Carl Quintanilla:

“We got a lot of downgrades and they, it physically stuck, it didn’t go down and then it went up ten percent. I’ll give you a good example. Guggenheim has a Sell on it today. If I crossed out the word Sell and read it, I would be buying. I mean it’s that positive. It’s about Robotaxi and it’s about the total addressable market and initially Tesla won’t do that well. But I’ve gotta tell you, I would neverrrr sell Tesla in this. And then Piper Sandler with just a few bullet points about why it’s going to be fantastic. Driver-less Tesla’s have been spotted in Austin. Of course he’s walked back when it’s going to be, but I continue to believe that you’ve got to own the stock.

“I got a kick out of reading it [Piper’s note] but the fact is David, stock’s bottomed and now you’re talking about, take a look . . .[after Faber pointed out that last week Cramer didn’t know if the stock was worth it] it went to 270! I caught 60 points! What do you want from me?

“Now I will tell you David, in the spirit of kindness, the spirit of goodness, is the notion about what’s he’s saying about Jensen and their partnership on autonomous. Wow. Because a lot of people who feel they’re autonomous does not have what Waymo has, which is the miles run.

“Jensen’s comments here, ‘The work that he, Elon is doing with Grok, his self driving cars, Optimus. Every single one of them world class. Every single one of them revolutionary. Every single one of them are going to be gigantic opportunities. And we’re delighted. I’m delighted to be working with him.’ Boom, I rest my case. That’s what the story is. This is a partnership that is made it so that he’s leapfrogged.

“[On whether Waymo could benefit from frictions between Musk and Trump] Well I think that the, David has talked about a particular felon from New York that’s not alive anymore and that maybe a bridge too far when you tweet about it. It’s kind of the holy grail bad. But I do think that, I think that. . .I want to own Tesla.

“[On why he has shifted his opinion about TSLA in just a week] Okay because, when I saw that it didn’t go down, on this vicious series of sells. When I saw that we’re that close to Austin, and I think that Austin’s going to go very well because a lot of the problems were autonomous, people feel he doesn’t have it. And I think that right in your face, I think humanoids are going to be gigantic. . .2030. You said it, I said it. But it’s going to be ahead of that.  I’m going to rent a humanoid in the next two years. I’m gonna have you come over the house.”
