Thanks to Cedric for help with research and translation, thanks to Bernhard Reismann from TU Graz for being supportive of the video and thanks to all the people who left comments on my last videos requesting me to look at Tesla's grades.

To the people asking if these are originals - No, they are printouts from the Archives of TU Graz, the link to which is in the description 🕵️‍♀️

So Tesla was studying regularly for 20 hours a day at the point where his tutors, 19th century university professors (who weren't always known for being kind and caring towards their students) wrote several letters to his father expressing their concerns... And there are people who still think genius makes everything and comes naturally.
It makes me respect the man even more.

Imagine chilling in the afterlife and a video about your grades pops up on your YouTube recommendations

Math grades confirm the fact that he was able to solve integrals in his mind without calculating them by hand.That's I N C R E D I B L E!

[hamody]

Can we just appreciate how his father actually kept his word

[marilynreno]

his biggest mistake was trusting edison.

[Ladoga]

It's crazy how much impact he had on the world despite having very little financial backing, opposition, and not finishing his degree.
He's #1 on my list of historical figures I'd like to meet.

I'm currently pursuing my doctorate at TU Graz. I'm deeply honored to attend the same school as this great man. Looking at this has awakened the motivation that I lost during the pandemic.

Having straight A’s in school doesn’t mean you’re smart, it’s just means that you have patience, good memories, and a willingness to study. Being smart is different.

Nobody's grades are safe from Tibees! Do your homework everybody!

A selfless genius that never takes his talents to earn money from the poor! It's time to go and acknowledge his works in our history books.

He was a genius, a pioneer, and a hero, who inspired a million more.

Tesla was a tragic figure in my opinion. He was probably one of the greatest physicists that ever lived, but vastly underappreciated during his lifetime.

[SegoMan]

Of coarse he dropped out of college, he probably got tired of educating his instructors..

[DanielPeterR]

His third year, Nikola Tesla realised that he out grow his Teachers in knowledge of the feild and became disinterested. He wanted to grow further instead of become a cloan of the system. In a way, his teachers succeed in educating him because he was able to fully self study the field of physics and become a master on his own. This is the true purpose of University, create the independent thinker.

One of my favorite quote -

“I do not think there is any thrill that can go through the human heart like that felt by the inventor as he sees some creation of the brain unfolding to success . . . Such emotions make a man forget food, sleep, friends, love, everything.”
- Nikola Tesla

Wow, even Tesla was refused a scholarship. That makes me feel better about being refused some.
