Good point - they could added direct heated defrosters for the front windows. Ford did this in the 1970's and 80's, so it is totally doable.
In the 1990s a company in the UK offered VW Beetle windshields cut from that gold-tinted glass. Perfect for cars bleeding heat out of the rusted rocker panels.

Instead of diesel, an electric heat pump. Add battery or just manage what they have.
