Is your Tesla smoking? 

i would think they would have to because of how energy intensive heating with resistance elements is.

The first one I saw was the Nissan Leaf. It was/is an option, about $900 when I was considering one. There are others that I have not followed up on. GFM

Not so crazy. Europe has been using them for years. They tend to be smaller sizes than electric resistance driers. Even resistance driers have adjusted their temperature to lower temps to increase their efficiency. GFM

Steam is invisible and is a gas. Water vapor is visible as the steam is condensing back to a liquid and that is what you are seeing. GFM

R22 is obsolete, so is R12 and R11. Modern air conditioning systems often use more environmentally friendly refrigerants like R134a or R410a, so you shouldn't be looking into R22, R12, or R11 as all 3 of those deplete the ozone layer hence why they've been phased out.

Start reading up on heat pumps. I have a number of videos that may help. Look at my playlist on my channel. search for "heat pump". GFM

most frost free fridges use electric elements to defrost, heatpumps reverse the flow.

A push mower was good enough for my grandfather, so I am going to use one too!! lol GFM

Why not? That is an odd thing to be worried about.

Do the coils rot on these things?

A heat pump is just a reversible AC so I guess you don't drive a car with AC either then.

@henrikolofsson2 5 speed manual, crank windows, no stupid air bags, no power locks or any of that junk to fail. 1987 Ford Ranger!

@ozzstars_cars nobody should be bragging about anything Ford made in the 80s lmao. It was garbage when it was new.

He did a fine job explaining. This isn't a complicated subject 😅

@@mr.monitor. Then why do people think their cars are on fire?

@@hg2. explained in this video.

@hg2. do you not see similarities between smoke and steam? What is your confusion after watching the video or did you comment without watching?

@@mr.monitor. Nevermind.
