Why would he explain it here when the first thing that needs to happen is a patent. And that is better done with Tesla and the inventor as partners.
All OP wants to know is how to reach someone in the R&D of Tesla. And to get that lead he does not have to explain his invention in this public forum.
The first thing is a patent, but the second thing is not to contact Tesla in regards to selling it to them.. First before anyone would take him seriously he would need an enterprise to back him and his work. He would have to implement it, test it, and correct the implications. And then pitch it.
Similar to a few people have mentioned, especially Bonnie, if the OP is so smart in making an invention to 'revolutionize' the heating of the car, why the heck wouldn't he be smart enough to find the correct person to contact on his own???
Like I said if you want serious information and advise, do not contact them. The best approach is to get a patent, find an investor, partner with a company, test run it, sell it, monitor it, then contact Tesla. By the time you are done, if everything goes smoothly and they agree you could see it in the new model E. You would be making a load of money and the end.
Option two is just to forget the independent partnership with an enterprise, create your own business/enterprise, and market it that way.
Also with direct experience, they do not return phone calls or emails. The way I got my 'in' was by proving myself.
And my speculation is that: you have a 12 volt battery that a person charges using solar, every morning before they head off to work they unplug it, bring it in their car, put it in the back, connect a plug in heater to it, and the user will be toasty all day until it runs out of 'juice'??? The user will not affect the car's battery in any way.
