So, I get that having the more efficient heat pump heater would help with range and efficiency to some degree - maybe it's worth going to the dealer. But it still seems the bigger problem is the overheating battery and inability to charge multiple times for a longer distance trip - the...

So, yes, it appears that the All Weather Package SV, which includes the Hybrid Heating System, is available as on 'option' on the SV. It seems the problem is that the dealer did not have a SV car on his lot with said All Weather SV Package. The only other 2019 they had was a SL, which did have...
