Some cars you won't notice it because the system works well and once it slowly rises up to operating temp it doesn't move again. Some cars you would because they are designed stupidly different. Like Dodge. I had a mechanic tell me after some research that yes indeed, the cooling fans not kicking on until the needle hit red was by manufacturer's specs.

It is the engine temp, and red is overheating which damages the engine.
So if you knew that you could have made a joke about one fewer climate destroying engine. Know your enemy!

I did not know that. I don’t think I’ve ever owned a car that had that or I never noticed it.

You just didn’t notice it, If you’ve owned a gasoline car, it had a temp guage, since it is a requirement.
