“You want to get some on the deal and then get out,” Cramer said. “I think it’s going to be a bad company.”
Tesla, which makes electric cars, isn’t yet profitable, Reuters reported, and the company has said a quarter in the black won’t come until it starts selling a high volume of its $50,000 Model S sedan. Also, according to Reuters, Tesla so far has sold only 1,000 of its $109,000 Roadsters.

“Everything’s been thrown away,” Cramer said of the housing sector, but Williams Sonoma is doing “pretty good.”
