To everyone who studied his life, Tesla was a practical man. He did not really theorize too much about his work, but he got it done better that anyone else from his time. He said this about Edison:

If Edison had a needle to find in a haystack, he would proceed at once with the diligence of the bee to examine straw after straw until he found the object of his search.. I was a sorry witness of such doings, knowing that a little theory and calculation would have saved him ninety per cent of his labor.

This quote make us sure he was a practical man then comes the other part. As a genius, he was not a practical man. He came with inventions and theories that genius of that time could not comprehend. Tesla kept in touch with Einstein via letters. He went over some theories over some times. Éinstein made clear that he was the greates mind in the world so far and he was not a practical man because he gave his life to realize his visions, while others made millions with his inventions. In the end, he wound up a penniless and forgotten man.

What are the Differences between tesla and Edison?

Tesla and Edison had different approaches to electrical technology. Tesla focused on alternating current (AC) systems, which are more efficient for transmitting electricity over long distances. In contrast, Edison primarily worked with direct current (DC) systems. Additionally, Tesla was known for his inventive mind and theoretical work, while Edison was more of a practical inventor and focused on developing commercial products.
