Not on my bike...
I've started cars at -7F
At that temp the entire car feels stiff and unhappy.
One of my cars takes 13 quarts- so even on just a reasonably chilly day, not even below freezing takes a LOOOOONG time to heat up, even at highway speed.
The flip side is that once hot- it has a 'residual heat' function that runs the water pumps while the car is parked at say a restaurant or shopping to keep the fluid moving through the block to the heater core, back to the block- while running the climate control inside the car- you come back to a nice toasty car.
If the available heat drops too low, it shuts itself off.
