How about Maxwell who gave the formulation for all of electromagnetic theory. Einstein's work is based alot on Maxwell. He lived a little before Tesla. Then there is Faraday a half century earlier who showed that the dynamo and electical engine was possible. I am not going to champion Edison but Tesla engineering processes were built upon Faraday's work. There was the work by the American engineer whose name I forget presently that made a killing engineering electromagnetic cranes that lived before Tesla.
