Documentary: How a Slate beats the heat (hot weather testing / towing)

Now how long will it heat the cab at 15F

If you precondition before unplugging helps a lot. Not much different than letting an ice get to operating temp before driving it.
You could also put a diesel heater in the bed and duct it into the car. You'll be real warm then.

Where I live 104°F isn't considered "extreme".

I've owned cars with A/C that works fine at 104°F but struggles at higher temperatures.

The Phoenix metro area is called "The Valley of the Sun" for a reason. This year's record-high day was 118°F.

Perhaps Slate could roll out a special “Food Truck Edition” for Arizona owners. The hood looks like a griddle, and in that heat, you could actually fry an egg on it!
