I'm mildly curious why they use direct electrical resistance. It's not like you can't make heat pumps that operate down past 0F.

My mitsubishi mini-split: 1. Can produce it's full BTU load all the way down to 5F, and 75% BTU load down to -13F. 2. Doesn't bother to blow air until it's warm :)

They aren't even that much larger than a resistance based coil system (though I could imagine the model S may not be able to fit them)
