Well I get in, plug in my phone and put on my belt. That’s maybe 15 seconds. Then I turn the key and wait for the glow* plugs to warm up, so that’s another 5-10 seconds.
My car is old and has a display for Android auto that is powered by the cigarette lighter. I’m waiting for it to turn on, then I’m picking some music on Spotify to play during my drive.
Checking pbone, eating food, looking for cord, checking pockets, enjoying the view, making sure mirrors are adjusted properly, adjusting chair, adjusting steering wheel. Could be any number of things.
Checking my mirrors, checking tire pressure, waiting for the on-screen button to become responsive so I can ok the dumb EULA on screen so I can use the infotainment unit, reconnecting bluetooth a few times because the phone and infotainment unit randomly choose to connect.
Letting the oil circulate before putting load on the engine. Only needs an extra 10-15 seconds, or the time it takes me to scrape during the winter months. No time needed if it was recently running.
Oil pumps? Seriously though 10-15 seconds doesn’t sound excessive at all. I would be surprised if anyone is actually in gear and putting serious load on their engine/trans in under 10 seconds.
They need the spot. They need it. RIGHT NOW! CAN’T YOU SEE THEIR BLINKER ON AS THEY BLOCK THE ISLE?! BEEP… BEEP BEEP BEEP THEY NEED IT NOOOOOOOWWWWWWWE WHY AREN’T YOU MOVIIIIIIINNNNNNGGGGGG BEEEEEEEEP

Transmission is slow on startup (especially when cold) so the first shift always takes a while to engage, and I have to watch the lights to see if I still have enough coolant (fun leak)
