Starting delay ?
Discussion
I go with A.
I consider it like older cars with physical key. First press to the button translates into the first/second position of the key (ACC/ON) then second press to the button translates into the third position of the key (START).
My car is stored in a garage without heating. It is just mildly warmer than outside. When there is no rain/snow I drive the car once a week. So far even if the outside temperature was around 3-4°C (probably during the night it was sub zero) I didn't notice a delay with the ignition.

The brake pedal switch seems to be a bit prone to failure. I got to the point where I had to stab on the brake pedal multiple times, and feared I'd get stranded. Replacing the switch is a simple DIY job. If I remember rightly you just remove the plastic shroud underneath the steering column, rotate the switch 90 degrees anticlockwise to remove it. Replacing is just the opposite - 5 minutes is all it takes. Switch was about £20
I’ve used the car a couple of times recently and it’s behaving itself ,I’ll report back when it doesn’t , although it’s very annoying that I’d take replacing the brake switch myself over returning it to a main dealer as it would be cheaper !
I’m really hoping it lives up to expectations when it’s run in .
