No you don't need to.

Ingition on, let clocks spin to end and back, turn key, engine fires.

Should not need any throttle.

Its better for the car...gives everything time to come alive (lets face it...everything is electric) before trying to start.

I've only ever fired it straight away once, and it didn't like it.

I'd like an explanation from the dealership as to what is coming alive.

Pump etc primes as soon as you unlock the car.

Fuck knows...... but if I start mine straight away it doesn't like it...it struggles.

Maybe VXR can explain why better....mechanically i'm limited to "letting things come alive".

FFS why should it struggle - its a fundamental thing for every car user - key it fire up

Think whoever told you to do that is having a giraffe with you

God sake why does it have to end in an argument. Ben J is on the receiving end for a car he didn't even make.

Obviously not having a giraffe if one way it struggles and the other way it doesn't.
