You sure? Tesla was a very good student and analytical.
Feynman started out as an electrical engineer (1 year at MIT) before
switching over. As a boy he used to fix radios and was very good a safe
cracking when on the Manhattan project.
Feyman didn't reall crack safes. At Los Alamos, file cabinets were shipped
with combination locks set at the factory to a standard combination. The
user could reset the combination to one of his choice. Many were too lazy to
do so. So Feynman opened a few with the factory combination and embarassed a
number of staff by doing so. No real "harm" done.

For that unusual combination - I would say Luis Alvarez may have been a
true
singularity in physics - although a few others come close. Tesla was weak
in
math; and Feynman was clumsy enough that he was lucky not to have been
charged with an unintentional homicide.
