You and a hundred other people I know of. @tidmutt had a similar plan. Lots of people who thought they were going to hold out of the incentives which never materialized too.
or move on.
No, they don't @Crissa. My sales associate did, but HQ is sending out boilerplate emails, and HQ wins. Ii thought that I timed my order to get an Austin Model Y not knowing that FSD and Model Y prices would go up or that they would delay production. I didn't think it was going to be a crap shoot, but I was am not at all unhappy with the Model Ys from Fremont, not at all; I just wanted the new features coming out of Austin. My planning doesn't often backfire but it did this time.
It's smart to wait on the MY. U.S. supply may outpace demand in another 12-18 months. Prices should come down. Obviously CT is going to be a lot more than a year or two. Prices will likely increase significantly so you better be saving up.
Yeah, eventually I may just accept a Fremont Model Y, it's supposed to be a temporary solution until the truck comes. It might be a long term temporary solution though, so a Austin Y would be nice. My current estimated delivery is March 15th-31st, so I might get lucky or be able to hold out long enough to get an Austin allocation. If I give up my reservation, it will cost me an extra $2K for FSD. Tesla timed the FSD increase perfectly from their perspective I think. I'm happy to pay the extra $2K if it means I get an Austin model. I do wish Tesla would just provide some clarity on the process. If it's going to be random, then just confirm it's random. If there is going to be an option to pay a premium to get an Austin Y, then communicate that option. Then I'll lock down one way or another. That is the right way to do it from a customer experience perspective and yes, no matter what their demand is, Tesla needs to remain a custom centric organization. They may not always have almost infinite demand.You and a hundred other people I know of. @tidmutt had a similar plan.

I think Tesla just got tired of dealing with this weird backlog and started telling people to
sadly, they aren't. It was always in the sales agreement, and not even buried deeply. I just assumed that the date they gave me was the actual date (or very close) so I didn't read it. They are on solid ground. My screwup. Its still a great car.
No, that's not how contracts work. Them changing the date to earlier is fraught with issues, and while it's in the contracts, that doesn't make it enforceable.
I have pointed it out on several occasions and it is well documented. It may be a moot point as Tesla hasn’t given me an expected delivery date and I saw on Tesla Motor Club someone who unlocked his order in December and got an expected delivery date in June. We’ll see when I get an expected delivery date.
