Hope there isn't already a thread on this...
Has anyone examined/taken apart the car enough to see the heater on the S trim '13+ Leafs? Is it the same part as that of the '11 and '12s? Does it still heat liquid and then run thru a heater core? Unfortunately, since the S trim has a very limited LCD, you can see power usage at all.
How about the PTC portion of the hybrid heater found on the SV and SL trims? Is it different than the above?
For me, w/my '13 Leaf SV, if I turn on the heat in the garage, by the time I've backed out to the driveway, I already have heat so this sounds WAY faster than the pre-13 resistive heater. Not sure how much of that is coming from the PTC portion vs. the heat pump. My temps when I do this are between ~35 F (at the lowest) to maybe 60-ish F.
