Fact of the matter is, idling a car for an hour to get a charge needed to start the car is wasteful at best and potentially harmful to the car if done repeatedly.
Seeing as you've devolved to butt hurt millennial snark, i'll take it i've won this friendly debate. Good day to you!
Police cars idle for hours every day then get turned into cabs that, wait for it.... idle for hours every day.
wait. But isnt' that why those uses get disclosed on seller/titles/odometers so that buyers aren't tricked by mileage that doesn't account for hours of idling?

Disclosure laws like that are decades old, from a different era when engines were lucky to go 100k without repair like bearings and such.
They go for hundreds of thousands of miles without breaking a sweat today.
My Avalanche has thousands of hours idling from sitting on jobsites in summer/winter with zero ill effects. Often 12 hours per day for days on end.
I like to stay comfortable.
