Tesla is a lunar crater that is located on the Moon's far side, just to the southeast of the larger H. G. Wells crater. About a crater diameter to the southwest of Tesla is Kidinnu crater, and to the southeast is Van Maanen crater.

This is a circular, bowl-shaped feature. There are a pair of small craterlets in the southern inner wall, but the crater is otherwise free of overlapping craters of significance. Only a few tiny impacts mark the floor and remaining sides.

By convention these features are identified on lunar maps by placing the letter on the side of the crater mid-point that is closest to Tesla crater.
