I would earn myself a -1000 with this answer: As the whole use for tee is to see what's going on, I would just open a second terminal, redirect everything with the usual idiom command > file > 2>&1 (or the other way around) and use tail -f file on the second term. In modern ones (or screen/tmux) you can have that in a single screen. But using two xterms isn't difficult either.
