I'm in Ohio. The App Remote Start ONLY works in warm weather, never when the windows need de-iced. (even is truck was driver a couple hours earlier) I'm now wondering it if will work in HOT weather? Or will that be disabled also?

I will try updating the Apps but.....The trucks that have the "Remote Start via Keybob" don't have the issue.

When it's say below 30, mine always goes in to the "disabled to save battery life", even if I had just driven it 2 hours earlier. I just have to accept that the "App version is only a feature in writing, not in real life. I park with in a few feet of my home, between my house and big garage. My garage gets full wifi so the truck should be fine. It has never said anything about offline or no signal. It's pretty darn disappointing. I would have bought the truck anyway but it was still a big selling feature.
Thanks

Do you only have the APP like me, or do you also have the "mechanical remote on your key fob"? My cars with the Mechanical always worked at any temp.

Sounds like Ford figured out how to fix the cat overheating problem. 🤣

I picked up my XL EB yesterday and was shown the remote start feature by the sales person. It has worked so far. Does anyone know if this is bluetooth, wifi, or cellular based? I was told it was a permanent free app based feature. I thought I had read there was a free 3 month AT&T service but would be a paid service after 3 months but not sure.

It's cellular-based but free (as long as you don't mind Ford collecting/selling your telemetry data). The AT&T trial is for the truck being able to provide a WiFi hotspot.
