Can you show me the evidence of this? I have seen no such theory.
The best evidence is the application of the GR field equations to predict the orbit of the planet Mercury, which before GR had an unexplained anomaly with it's perihelion precession. Any good book on GR will walk you through it. It's probably the strongest test of GR and considered a hallmark proof that the equations do accurately predict planetary orbits around our Sun.
My understanding is that Tesla didn't refute Einstein because his theory didn't marry E&M with gravity, but because he couldn't comprehend the math behind it. Which is too bad since the math has been shown to be an accurate model for our solar system, better than what existed before.
I think we might have gotten signals crossed here. I thought you meant Tesla had a theory of E&M gravity that gave a better prediction of planetary motion than GR. That was what I was asking evidence for. I am aware of the predictions and measurements that asserted GR.

It would seem so.
Great exchange though, thank you.
