It’s not cold weather. Temps are well above freezing. I seriously doubt the battery is weak or even discharged. The car is brand new, just below the 1200 mile break in, driven daily for 30 min minimum and has been taken on 1.5 hour drives on the highway muktiple times. The car never hesitates or shows any starting weakness when pushing the start button in the car. Starting from the app also never shows any weakness or difficulty starting. It is only the triple click from the FOB that acts weird and as if the battery is weak. I can try starting from FOB multiple times (and fail) until it won’t even turn over anymore. But after that I can immediately go into the car, push the start and it starts without any hesitation.

It really SEEMS like remote start from FOB relies on some kind of reserve power as opposed to main battery power….if that makes any sense.
