      The amount of power those screens use is peanuts compared to the drive train.

      I can chill in my car with AC, screens, and charge my steam deck for hours and my battery only goes down a couple %.

      My car uses 1KW in that state. That’s as precise as it shows me, so I’m guessing it’s rounded up. Taking it at face value, with a 65KWh battery it would take 65 hours to drain completely (I like easy math).

        Interesting. How much does that go up when you’re driving and all those autonomous aids and scanners kick in? Not trolling - geniunely curious?

          I wouldn’t really be able to tell with the information it provides. But that 1KW figure does factor in the camera array since I can access it idle.
