I’d say raise this to your dealer, but I can predict about a hundred BS dealership responses they would come up with to this scenario. But no harm in trying (repeatedly, if necessary). Perhaps asks to take a ride with the shop foreman and attempt to replicate.
Depending on a lot of factors after 30 mins these cars are no longer warm, and in fact are dead cold or at least halfway to being cold. I usually get at least a mini cold start after that long having the car sit if not a full one so even if the temp gauge is in the middle the car itself inst considered up to temp realistically.
