LOL my neighbor does that with his truck. 2 years old and the heads were rebuilt a few weeks ago. Coincidence???My wife will literally have her car in reverse before the starter is fully disengaged. Drives me nuts.

It hurts zaddyIt'll be ok ...
Liekwise. First cold start is about 1850 RPMS for me, then after 30 secs its down to 1K, and its time to drive. takes about 30 secs to put on belt, check mirrors, set radio/ heat, and im off. I also really try to keep it under about 2800K for 10-15 driving mins, but being a 4 cylinder non turbo its kinda hard lol. If it let it idle to warm up it will take a solid 10-15 mins depending on outside temp, but driving it about 5 mins and i have full heat.My engine revs very high at cold start, maybe 1500-1800 rpm and then slowly settles down to 1000 rpm before warmup, usually does this about 30 seconds so I give it that much time before driving off. I try to keep below 2500 rpm if possible before the temperature gauge is in the middle.
Wait till you start it below 0°f, it will idle high for dang near two minutes.Liekwise.

normal idle after 2 minutes for an unplugged 2021 mazda 3 turbo at -44 celcius without wind chill? of course . i do start and go at that temperature . the car is instantly ready to ride..Thats total BS nonsense. I have lived in cold climates all my life. No computer controlled engine is going to sit revving at 1800-1900 rpm for 30 minutes. More like 1500 rpm for 2 minutes then down to a normal idle. My 4.8 V8 had no troubles starting in Thompson MB. None. My Ranger 4.0 had no issues either.
At the most.No benefit unless you like wasting fuel. A half minute should get the juices flowing.
I drive off after 5 seconds usually, that's about how much time it takes to move from the key to the shifter..You'd warm it up quicker by driving around. I let it sit for a minute at most, usually 30 seconds.
Driving off after 5 seconds is asking for problems, and waiting 5 minutes would waste your time.
Again, not a practical choice in some areas (either due to geography (hilly), or "people" attitude).Drive slow, or at least don't let the revs get too high, will warm the car faster.
I did used to let my car warm up for about 30 seconds before moving it, up to about a minute.Again, not a practical choice in some areas (either due to geography (hilly), or "people" attitude).
Oil will get to the turbo fairly quickly regardless, the main reason is for emissions and to heat up the cat convertors faster.My car, a BMW M240i, will idle at about 1300rpm after every start. The engine then will slowly decrease the revs until they reach ~750rpm. The reason that the engine is programmed to do this-regardless of the engine temperature-is to ensure that oil is getting to the turbo quickly. Once the engine is idling at ~750rpm I drive gently for the next mile or so.

As @jeepman3071 said, oil is there in no time and reason are catalytic converters.My car, a BMW M240i, will idle at about 1300rpm after every start.
