New Range Rover running flat

If I leave the car for approx five days the battery normally is flat and the car will not start. With the current technology and consequent drain on the battery is this to be expected? I do lock it when not in use. Have you any feedback from other owners?

I've heard rumours of this and put it down to running champagne coolers on the aux socket. But seems to be more widespread than that. You lock it. But what happens to cars left unlocked is that the Bluetooth continuously tries to pair with a phone and if no compatible phone is available, that drains the battery.
