Does MyChevy Work the Day After?
This is how you can waste your time during Covid.... 
I received the last digits of my 2021 HTC VIN with a TPW of today (12/14/2020) from my dealer. I've got the entire VIN number figured out less the "security" digit which has to be a 0-9. Tried 10 times on MyChevy and I'm guessing the full VIN won't be in the entire GM system until some later stage at or after assembly this week.
Will the MyChevy app accept the VIN the day after production?
TIA

The MyChev app relies on OnStar to be activated. That can only (officially) be activated when you first sit in the car and press the blue button and talk to a rep. OnStar itself has had a lot of debate, and personally I don't need it. The MyChev app is worthless without it though.

Note that the 5th digit for 2021 (A, B, C for 1LT, 2LT, 3LT respectively) is different from that of 2020 (6, 7, 8)

You can use this site to determine the check digit. Put any random digit in the check digit position and the calculator will fix it for you.

It might but it won't do you any good.

The latter is what happened to me. My car was courtesy delivery to my local dealer. I was at 4200 and able to track the shipping truck coming and met him at the dealer to watch my car get pulled off. Now I have to wait for a PDI hopefully tomorrow.
