Received a text today that our MY is on the way to the Delivery Center. it asked that we select our appointment by this afternoon. Today is the 18th and Battery Day is the 22nd, I am sure we can schedule delivery for after the 22nd. My concern is what Elon will say on Battery Day and how that will affect MY's in the near future and if it is something that I feel waiting for that will not raise the price, I would be willing to wait. Any comments or suggestions? Anyone else in the same pickle?

1st, you have 7-day return policy
2nd, whatever Elon is going to announce, I doubt they are coming to Model Y within weeks.
So, if you need a car now, you still have 7 days to return. If you aren't in a hurry, just reject the delivery date and come back in a few months.

If you can, I would wait for a 2021 model, but may be this ia already the case since September 1rst?
If you have the VIN number you can check the year.
I was just reading: Tesla Model Y to use one-piece front casting in Germany: report
Note: About the battery announcement, this would only affect models in the future (CyberTruck, Spider, European Tesla Hatchback...)
For example, the Model S never received the new Cells from the Model 3.

The tenth digit represents the Model Year and is standardized by NHSTA.
All vehicles from all manufacturers made in 2020 will have an “L” here, an “M” for 2021, and so on.

I too am looking forward to hearing about cool new tech at battery day, but I don't agree that it is that meaningful if you are interested in buying a Tesla today. Maybe if your plans were to buy something in 2021 it might be relevant, but anything announced here will be many (many) months before it sees production, likely either in a new (cybertruck?) or revamped (S, X?) model.
The rush to get cars out the door right now has everything to do with it being the end of the quarter. Most locations are probably expecting a flood of shipments to arrive that have to transact before October 1st and they don't want a bottleneck of cars sitting on their lots waiting to be picked up. Never underestimate the intense pressure for companies to meet quarterly targets.

Just set up your appointment and go get it! The problem if you wait for the "next thing" when it comes to tech, is you will always be behind. You won't be sorry!

u guys are placing way too much emphasis on battery day. Its an investors call basically and stuff will not materialize in the short term. If you want the car - buy the car. If you ant to wait for vaporware that may materialize in 2021 - then wait for 21. You knew battery day was sep 22 for months - why did you order the car then?

I think it all depends on how soon you need a car. IMHO, Tesla has too much invested in current 3/Y battery production, to just do a hot swap.
Tesla might as well squeeze as much profit out of the current (and rather new) battery factory before abandoning it for the new tech that will be revealed.
The first Tesla’s to get anything from battery day will be S/X/Roadster and possibly semi. The release of new battery tech will follow the same path Tesla used to become what it is today.
New tech in the high end models to fund the eventual transition to the high volume. Model 3/Y last in line for a new battery.
I’d be quite surprised to see the 3/Y updated with what’s revealed on battery day prior to the first Cybertruck deliveries.
