Hey! a fellow NW Ontario 2024 SR Lightning !! LOL
I wonder about additional heat sometimes - for similar reasons.
have you considered an electric heater running from a separate battery system for the cabin?
Since I build LFP batteries for various projects and my home battery (solar) I was toying with trying out one connected to an electric heater placed in the rear of the cab. A 8kWh pack could supply 24,000 BTU's.
Maybe a 'solar generator' type of unit (bluetti/Jackery/Ecoflow) could be another option to power a heater for the day - charge it at home overnight if you need a battery source.
When we get some cooler weather I will take a look at the truck energy graphics - that show the % energy going to cabin vs battery/motor vs traction - to see what potential saving may be available
