Nolan tricked you, not me. You're looking for the logical answer that isn't there.
The entire film presents a magician's world in great detail. Every illusion and trick is thoroughly explained - except for the transported man trick. We, the audience, are conditioned to expect a rational solution to every illogical happening in the film. Even as we realize Nolan is happily painting himself inextricably into a corner plotwise, we expect the big reveal at the end and can hardly wait for it! It doesn't come, other than by explanation that Tesla's device really works. As I remember, it's the ONLY explanation that fits the plot. No one could explain the plot otherwise without opening gaping plot holes. That, supposedly, is the art of the film. Whether you find that satisfying is another matter. I didn't.
So in essence, Nolan tricked us. It's MAGIC! And since when does a good magician reveal his secrets during interviews?
