In this case, Tesla's doing it with stock sales -- $5 billion at the market right now, second tranche by the way, he said.

"Now, though it has a challenger, Nio, the Chinese company that unveiled a new electric vehicle luxury sedan this very weekend that people are going gaga about. Its got tons of features, including an Nvidia (NVDA) based self-driving solution. Lots of bells and whistles that could rival Tesla in the electric vehicle market," Cramer said.
