You can see references to Tesla in an American scifi radio show, Ruby: the Galactic Gumshoe. Tesla is portrayed as the wildly eccentric patron saint of a band of performance techs for the Digital Circus on a distant world.
In Ruby 4, the characters seek special guidance from Saint Tesla. And/Or and Ruby do a Tesla-inspired chant, and Tesla's spirit rises from a set of Tesla coils. He gives bizarre bits of advice on self-realization and implants the blueprints for an unknown device in And/Or's head. And/Or later saves the day by creating the device from memory.

isn't it dreadful when a great mind like Tesla's is abused for such a rediculous premise.

It is, but that's popular culture for you. It upsets me more that he doesn't have the recogition for what he did,though. I could handle the silly SF stuff if he had.
