There's a separate cabin heater which is connected to the same circuit as the block heater.
A few years ago, Ford was offering an optional electric heating element in the cabin heater of their pickups, because it would warm up much faster than the coolant would (especially if it has a diesel). I wonder if they still do that, because it seems like a nice touch and something that could be used this way, too. (I haven't watched the video.)
That’s super cool!
