And, interestingly, why they lowered the top speed while keeping the same tires. Unless there is something about the top speed that affects the efficiency rating. If so, what a weird rating.

That's exciting! I ordered nearly 3 weeks before you and I still have a 5 week delivery window that starts this Saturday. Same model except for 19"s.

That is perplexing given the max test loop speed is 80 mph.
Same order as you with the 19s, window keeps pushing, today through 2/21.

I ordered (Red/White/Yoke/19") on 12/30, accepted the configuration on 1/9, and my EDD is still 2/16 - 3/22.

So I just double checked, the European sites are still showing a 250km/h (155mph) speed limit, which certainly suggests the speed limiter change is due to whatever they changed for epa purposes here. Tires would have been the best bet, except we’ve already seen an example with the same tires as before
I think the 155mph limit in Europe was a voluntary manufacturer thing that the German big dogs had agreed amongst themselves to abide by. Now that you say that number, I'm recalling this limit for AMG and BMW super sedans from even 10 years ago.
Yeah I think that is historically where that came to be a popular limit, and other manufacturers sorta copied it to keep the comparison up.
But I think it's noteworthy that the speed limiter decrease for the S seems to be a strictly US thing. For the Model 3 highland, the limiter decrease is worldwide.
Tesla told me today:
"
on page 2 of the order agreement it states:
"If you make changes to your order, you may be subject to potential price increases for any pricing adjustments made since your original Order Date. Any changes made by you to your Vehicle Configuration, including changes to the delivery location or estimated delivery date, will be reflected in a subsequent Vehicle Configuration that will form part of this Agreement."
You made the changes by not taking delivery of the 2023 model when it was avaialbe for you. As we no longer build the 2023 model, you are subject to the price increase of getting a 2024 model S.

Meanwhile, there's a risk of prices going up further.

Yeah, I agree, probably the best plan is to do nothing and wait and see what happens. They will probably assign a car at some point or cancel your order.
