Close but probably not as you need to get the wires from the box into the connector though one of the two holes near the bottom.
BTW, when you install it be sure to replace the 50 amp GFIC breaker with a standard 50 amp breaker.

Doesn't the Gen 3 backplate still have one or two rear-entry knockouts? If they are removing the 2-gang cover and the 14-50 receptacle, and mount the TWC backplate knockout over the 2-gang opening, it might be able to properly cover the hole? They would need to make sure the backplate mounting holes are aligned with a stud or other support though - but often a 2-gang is attached or adjacent to a stud so might all be able to be lined up.

IF your wiring can support it, which is not guaranteed.

Of course. The breaker is there to protect the wiring so you should never use a breaker that exceeds the wire rating. Design and implement the whole system for max output and safety.

I think at worst, you screw the silver metal 2-gang cover with the round hole back on, as it's fairly flush to the drywall, and align the rear knockout with the hole, so if anything is showing, it's a bit of corner of the silver cover, not the drywall opening itself.
I toyed with the idea of installing a NEMA 14-50 on my garage wall first, and replacing with TWC later, just like you, so I've thought about it, but found a secondhand TWC before I had a chance to do the 14-50. Good luck with it!

Gen 3 Wall Connector Mounting Dimensions
My Model 3 will be ready for pick-up in about a week, and I've also ordered a Gen 3 Wall Connector. I'll be parking outdoors without a nearby wall to mount to, so I'm having a post fabricated to mount the charger. My question is how far apart vertically (center to center) are the mounting holes...
