2014 Escalade, L94 6.2. 166,000 mi and never made a sound when started cold. Always use 5W30 full synthetic, always change at 5000 MI. AFM/DOD deleted last year. It's never used a drop of oil between oil changes.
Nothing after the 2009 model year should have piston slap. GM finally addressed it in the 2010 model year by redesigning the piston skirts. If I had a ticking sound on cold starts I'd be a little nervous.... Concerned about an oil pressure issue or lifter.
