I just returned from a trip where I had to leave my car at the airport from Sunday to Thursday. Obviously, I was concerned about phantom drain and having enough battery to make it home. Here's what I did:
Charged to 100% prior to leaving for the airport.
Turned off sentry, summon, security alarm (set pin to drive just in case), wifi, cabin overheat protection, and unplugged my USB drive. Basically everything.
Checked car thru app only once per day for peace of mind.
Arrived at the parking lot with 87% charge and returned to the car 5 days later with 86% remaining. Obviously very happy with this. Did I need to turn off everything that I did?... Who knows but it's good to know that phantom drain wasn't really an issue.
