No, there isn't. There is a resistive heater in the local loop to assist in starting the heat pump in sub -10C temperatures. Do you think the resistive element continues to draw power AFTER the heat pump is running?There is also a resistive heater in the local heating loop for cold temperatures.
You haven't grok'd the purpose of the heating loop, or its advantage in cold temps, which is the subject here. Comparing the Model Y to an 'S' was a confound; the video should have used a '3'.But you didn't answer my question as to why you claimed the Model Y "won"
FastorPartneringI’ve lost track of who is partnering with who/whom on EVs and charging networks.

That COLD START is the innovation. I recommend you listen to Elon again. Then perhaps you'll appreciate why Elon has a Model Y heat pump on the dressing room table in his bedroom.

Model Y is demonstrated 10% more efficient than Model 3. Model 3 has a resistive heater. Elon says the heat pump makes the difference for the Model Y. This result didn't come from magic.
Heat pumps will always win in efficiency against resistive heaters, so long as they are able to start. The heating loop in the Model Y means the heat pump can start down to at least -20 C temp.
Once its running, it will always be more efficient than a pure resistive heater, even if it requires some augmentation from a resistive element, because that will always be less energy required than 100% resistive heating.
Come Wintertime, some intrepid 3rd part should do a proper comparison test between the 'Y' and the '3'. Numbers will help make this advantage clear.

Why ? Because the general public will remember the clear skies ... and they will buy EV ... and Tesla is way ahead of its competitors.
My view ...

"Biden for President" is the org specially run by Biden. It is not run by the DNC, though certainly the two will be collaborating to get him voted in.This was also refreshing to see.
"And, Vice President Biden has committed that Biden for President will not accept contributions from oil, gas and coal corporations or executives."

To avoid a purely political post, looks like Tesla is rolling out stopping for traffic lights for early access users. This should help Q2 FSD revenue at least a little, but more importantly, it opens the door to gather a lot of valuable data.
I don't think it adds that much to the data, since bits of FSD are continuously running in "shadow mode" on non-beta tester cars. I'd say they'd even get the affirmed responses, since non-beta cars have to press the accelerator pedal to move forward (might be why Tesla made that requirement for the Beta testers, actually, rather than a hand-affirmation).
