The Tesla turret is an electric turret like the Laser turret. While the Laser turret only takes up a 2x2 area, the Tesla turret is much larger taking up a 4x4 area. The Tesla turret is much more powerful but is also much more power hungry. Not only is the energy per shot higher, but the passive power draw is also significant. It's worth mentioning that we've actually reduced the Laser turret's passive power draw so the two electric turrets have more differences and are better in different situations.

This machine is not simply a tesla coil, technically it's more like a compact particle accelerator that fires a proton or ion beam. Once the primary beam hits a target they are strongly positively charged causing secondary arcs of lightning that can chain to other nearby targets.

This chain lightning effect makes the Tesla turret much better against groups of enemies.

The Tesla turret deals a decent 60 electric damage per second, but damage comparisons are difficult to generalise because some enemies may be weaker to electrical damage, and damage bonuses from technologies make a significant difference. Also, this is just the damage per target, and the lightning can jump to secondary targets 10 times in a chain and they all take the full damage.
