Only problem I had was when the key itself got cold too.

Somehow today's cars know when to stop cranking. My 2011 Dakota has the conventional key switch, but all you have to do is click it to the start position for a second and it will crank on its own and stop once the engine starts running. Sometimes it does seem like it stays engaged a second or two too long and makes a unsettling grinding sound, which I'm sure is slowly destroying my starter. Built Ram tough and shit y'know.

It's electricity man. Worry about your battery.
Push button start most likely has remote start as well. |

And if it didn't start right away just push the button a couple times to shut it all off and then try to start it again

Modern fuel injection and the super thin and efficient oils used in cars these days makes this point pretty much moot.
Back in the day with carburetors and what not it was a thing, not so much now. In extremely cold environments, block heaters are used, but I seriously don't think you are going to have a problem. |

The tech that still irks me are the cars that shut off at a light until you remove your foot from the brake. These cars (as explained to me) have two batteries, one for crank and one for everything else.
Still though...that is just bound to go wrong.
