This has been talked about a lot but does anyone’s car tick after startup and it gets to operating temperature and once you drive it around the tick goes away?

Happens upon startup and doesn't go away.

No because what you're describing is piston slap. The tick (much like herpes) NEVER really goes away, it just hides.
