I wonder - if you run current through these when they're covered with snow, will they heat up and melt it away?

Musk recently posted to Twitter about using dedicated heating elements in the tiles for this purpose: https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/792218248917811204

From the article:

It can also be fitted with heating elements to melt snow in colder climates

(not quite "run current through", but ...)
