Use the last warmth from the heater to melt some snow into water then pour water into lithium batteries, Wha La instant bonfire...
You make it sound so... desperate...
Okay, explain how that is different with a gas powered car?
The heating system in a gas powered car is a byproduct of the engine combustion, captured (via the hot engine coolant that circulates through the engine and radiator) and used to heat the vehicle. With a gas powered car one can idle the vehicle using minimal amount of fuel (as when stopped in traffic) and the car stays warm. Whereas with an EV a large amount of current is needed to heat the vehicle, robbing the car from electricity also needed to propel it, potentially creating a dangerous situation of people being stranded in their EV's from massive battery drain.
With a full tank of gas a car can run on idle for 8-9 hours, and if a person is tries to conserve by heating for a while and then turning off the engine for as long as possible, a full tank of gas can go for days.
My heater in my gas truck will run 40 hours on a tank.
That car batteyr Bout an hour.
Actually the “heater” in the Tesla is a heat pump, and as you are only running the life support (not transmission, fuel pump, water system and electrical system) you have about 5 days of warmth - providing you charged before you left home
The EV has the luxury of only running the systems you need, when needed. Add to that your ICE (like mine) heats up the engine block, transmission, water system much hotter than than the heater; before the heater works.
