With the features switched off, I'd expect no impact of charge level over a few days, as it's only powering alarm, entry system and telematics really.

Is your XJ a gen 2.1 infotainment system ? (I found a pair of new head units in the cupboard when cleaning up)

Been a lurker on Tesla groups, when they were on the short list. There is a 'phantom' drain issue there, but I think it's due to all the cameras and sentry mode etc. Not unheard of for considerable amounts eg 20% of power lost in a week. Other functions like a climate over product to cool if car gets to hot etc are on by default.

To allay any potential concerns - the iX lost about 2% over the week we left it parked at Southampton docks last summer - and iirc yours has a larger battery than mine. I assume waking it up with the app might make it lose more, but I can't see why you'd need to.

So I was out Sunday-Thursday, came back and the i4 was on exactly the same percentage.

Yup

We need to organise that evening out we suggested last time....

Changed the rear exhaust on the galaxy, a refreshingly easy job.

I say changed, technically the old one removed itself. Which made the job easier

Hmmmm....those advisories sound worthy of a hundred page thread.

It's got to go back to Vauxhall for a re-call
rear Lower Camber Suspension Control Arm (apparently they crack )
Me and my MOT tester checked ,they look fine , 15 years old
when the arms are replaced i'll have the tracking done and new 'all season tryes' (worth a 100 page thread)
drop links are probably 15 quid the pair ,so i doubt that's worth even posting about

Picked up a brand new set of front discs, pads and wear sensors for the Cat for only £50 (new) from somebody who had his written off before they were fitted, pleased with that for the 380mm setup

The way I get through brakes, I could use getting decent brakes for £50

Cant get the airbag light to stay off on Sons Civic. Pretty sure its connected to a dodgy connection in the seat belt buckle which means the seat belt reminder on the dash doesnt always light up when the belt is unplugged.
MOT is due Friday, so Ive dismantled the clocks, and found the airbag light isnt removable and soldered into the board.
Carefully bent the little bulb out a bit and stuffed a bit of tissue paper down the hole it sits in to block out the light. 
Should be an advisory for not illuminating rather than a fail for being illuminated.
