Yes, apparently when watching the live feed on YouTube, if one runs it up to approximately 45 min you will be near the end this is when the battery quit.

A Twitter poster asked SpaceX Elon Musk directly and the response was this end part of the video.

Hey, I think I saw that Tesla going over my house this morning. The robot waved at me!

Re: SpaceX Heavy Rocket Launch/Return is Successful!

Space exploration has been a part of my life since I was a child because my Uncle was a rocket scientist and worked for NASA and, when we were too young to stay home alone we spent all our school vacations at his home in Fl.We knew the Mercury astronauts -to us they were just our Uncle's friends. Saw a lot of launches. Around '63 I was old enough to no longer need to go to Florida & thru my teen years I did not have as much interest in space, but it picked back up when Neil Armstrong walked on the moon.

What cherished memories those must be for you @151949.  Not only giants in the field of space exploration but just wonderful people to have in your life at that age!  How inspiring!
