In a nutshell, Strat is a soft tail, Tele is a hardtail.
I.e. The Strat's bridge is sprung, so you can attach a tremolo arm and use it to alter the pitch as you play, though at the sacrifice of tuning stability.
Tele has no springs - so a solid bridge. This means no tremolo effects but greater tuning stability.
Telecaster also has different pickups, bridge pickup gives a stronger sound than a strat single coil, traditional "lipstick" in the neck position gives a softer, jazz-ish sound.
- tele neck is wider too which is great if you have really large fingersismith
