I would say that’s a big NO. So many people are going to be pissed so I’m not worried

IMHO, I say most of the SAs will continue play stupid saying they haven't been told so they don't get tons of waiting customers jumping down their throats. If cars ordered before the removal start showing up without it, that's when they'll have to deal with angry customers.

I tried searching for Teslas Terms of Service on their website but couldn’t find it. I did see this in my sales agreement, so I think we are SOL
You didn't read that very well. It says "options, features or hardware...AFTER you place your order may not be included..." That means if they do an upgrade or something like that, you wouldn't get it. Again, quite clearly it says AFTER. So once you place your order, all "options, features or hardware..." that was valid at the time is what they are responsible for.
just wondering how much was the 14-50 outlet to be installed? Also need 220 volts? and 50 amp?

For the record, I hit the like button because you did some digging and not because of what is stated. That deserves an unlike button.
Going to play devils advocate, but hasn't Tesla done something similar before? When you get your VIN they make you sign an agreement saying you are ok with the reduction in features, and if you are not, they will refund your deposit? I thought that happened with a stripped feature in the past?
I paid $340 for the install. Yes, it's 220v and I hat a 50amp breaker put on.
I'll probably grab this charger. I get a $250 credit from my electric company if I buy it.

We have this. Great choice, if you have the adapter for Tesla. Flexible in case you have non-Tesla EV guests who want to charge!

$50 for the 14-50 Tesla adapter, $20 for the outlet, $25 for 4ft of 6/3 wire, $20 for a 50amp breaker. For me, I have to buy 2 piggyback breakers so I could combine other outlets in the house to make room for the double 50amp breaker so that was an extra $60. So $175ish and my friend and I did the install so that saved a bunch of money.

I was counting on that charger, this is a bummer. Not only did I place my order 2 weeks too late ($3500 more), but now I will have to buy a UMC in addition. I like the car, I hate the service already.

No, the way I read it is that clause allows them the freedom to change (aka add or remove) any features or options from the time of your order to the time your car is built at their sole discretion.
If they feel it’s a big enough change they might give you the option to agree or cancel and get refunded. Such as the LFP batteries on SR+, removal of radar, etc. But I think plenty of small features have been removed before on in progress orders and you basically have to take it or leave it. Eg: Chrome trim (some people prefer it so black could have been seen as a downgrade), standard Homelink, standard 14-50 adapter, auto dimming mirrors (which were later added back), lumbar support, etc.
They have also added features in the past without increasing the price of existing in progress orders. Eg: heat pump, matrix LED lights, power trunk, refreshed interior, etc.
Hopefully if enough people make a big stink about it they will reverse course about the included UMC, but legally we don’t have a leg to stand on because of that clause.

It would be nice if Elon or Tesla just cleared the damn air and stated when the delete will officially happen and which customer orders the cutoff applies to.

I'm waiting on my M3LR, but had the charger installed last year to take advantage of the 30% federal tax credit. I bought a "dumb" charger since all of the scheduling can be handled with the vehicle.

I am picking up my car on 4/22. I will update if it came with the bundle or not. I hope I get it..
Also, many of us view the 'Agree to Purchase' clause differently because it was intentionally written ambiguously to cover their ass.
