Do you expect new audi e-tron to have remote start and/or mobile app start, unlike the other audi models since it is an electric vehicle? Or remote heat on/off option in US market?

It does not seem like "start" really applies to the e-Tron. Pre-heating/pre-cooling seems very likely, given that most other EVs can do it.

If you have the cold weather package, there's additional preconditioning capabilities.

and what does it exactly do?

I don't think they have discussed the cold weather package in detail. My guess would be that the heater is somehow upgraded to bring the fluid temperature up faster. In cold weather, charging rate, range, and regenerative braking capability are significantly reduced so preconditioning before driving or fast charging is important.
