Driving through Montana and Wyoming last winter it was interesting to see all the EVs stranded along the roads, being hauled on flatbeds, and the frozen idiots who tried to commit suicide by driving them. I stopped to help one nut job driving a Tesla p/u pulling a 20’ enclosed trailer between Casper and Buffalo. It was -15 and he only made it about 78 miles out of Casper.

I guess back in the day you could get propane heaters for the Volkswagen bugs.
In 1964, while living in Newfoundland, I bought a brand new VW beetle ($1200).
For $50 more they added a gasoline fired heater.
Damn thing nearly scared me to death every time it lit off,....... with a roar!

I remember my mother talking about having a heater installed. I thought it was propane, but maybe it was gas.🤷‍♂️

Yeah, they made them for Corvairs, too. Scary to even think about them. They were located in the 'frunk,' right next to the gas tank (same as for the VWs).
