I've only had my 2025 ST for a week or so, but got what seemed like a low battery warning when waiting during a soccer practice and streaming video. Is the intended use of streaming features while an engine is running? What kind of timing should I expect on just accessory power?

The car is using a lot of power in ACC. Your experience is not unexpected.

I was a bit surprised, since the advertisements and dealer showing was pushing the streaming features, specifically for use while waiting / in parking lots. Thanks for the confirmation. It would be pretty helpful if there were a battery life indicator on the dash besides just a single picture; I built a solar shed, and that has a simple Renogy battery monitor shunt.
