   @TheBreadmonkey Can other people's cars really do this in seconds? It usually takes several minutes for the air to heat up enough to even start melting ice and it takes a while after that for it to be completely melted. If I waited for the defroster every time my windshield has ice I'd have to idle my engine for 5-10 minutes every time.

   And it's not even that cold where I live (Atlanta)

     @wesley @TheBreadmonkey maybe E cars? Anything relying on exhaust or water will take a bit to get going

     This is a NEWS article about people apparently not knowing you can turn the windscreen fan on in a car to clear ice. If there are people out there who do not know this they should not be behind the wheel of a car.
