Whether it is legal or not depends on the contracts people originally signed with them. There's no point speculating without looking at the text.

It’s also subject to laws.

Not laws, law.

The only law that matters here is the American Arbitration Act. All other laws do not apply.

As long as the AAA applies, the contract is "legal".

The arbiter's whims will decide the result, not "the law". The AAA overrides all other laws, state and federal, with respect to the contract.

Here's a copy of one of the agreements: https://www.tesla.com/sites/default/files/CI-Energy-Products...

It's not. Either party can renegotiate a contract or back out of it, pursuant to the terms of that contract. Which is why without being an attorney and seeing the actual text of the contract it's useless to speculate about whether or not Tesla can do this.

Some folks might have promissory estoppel damages as was mentioned elsewhere, but that's entirely different than "you signed this contract so you must follow through on it."
