@RB88 what is in that post to disagree with?
On the heater.
Do you own a noncontact thermometer?
If you do I suggest you go out and from 60mph use the brakes hard, pull over and immediately measure rotor temps.
Now think about the amount of mass in the 4 rotors and that temp rise. You will be missing some as the rotors are open air and cooling even as you slow.
Now if you try to do that inside the pack are you going to have a resistive element of equal weight to the rotor set so it has a similar temp rise? Do you want to use a smaller element at much higher temps and then how is that rapid accumulation of heat spread across the in pack?
What are the implications of that constant thermal shock?
