In my experience, the heater sucks - the battery. I guess, dress warm, wear gloves, bring a blanket. We do.
Don't take this the wrong way, but I think the notion that you need to "bundle up" in the $100K "car of the future" is a little disconcerting. It's tough enough driving 400 miles for 7 plus hours up and down the east coast in a relatively comfortable (that is, warm) car. Doing that drive in mittens and a comforter is much worse.
I made many the "short" trip in the LEAF sans heat to avoid reaching BINGO energy before my destination, and it was no fun. But having to bundle up in the cabin while cruising I-95 for hours will do nothing for the spouse approval factor, I'll tell you what.
