I left mine for 5 weeks unplugged outside during all of July with 85% or so on battery. No apparent battery loss and started no problem Car just goes into a deep sleep mode eventually.
I am in Pacific northwest.(BC, Canada)
Left it 2 weeks in March outside with also zero issues.
So don't worry about it.

So I came back from about 15 days away and no issues with the car at all! My parking garage attendant had left it nice and snug in the back of the garage and he said there was no issues in it starting right away when I got back. I have Lojack installed and I monitored the 12V battery health and it dropped as low as 12.4v from what I could see.

I drove it up to my weekend place and plugged it in to my 40A home charger and got a Charge Station Fault, reset it and got it again. I then plugged in the supplied Ford 32A charger and no issues. I wonder if its the cheapo Lectron 15-40 40A charger that is defective... weird as it never gave me any problems with the ID4 when charging for about a year... I am thinking of just getting a JuiceBox and getting my utility rebate to mostly subsidize the cost... Seems with the Ford charger working fine that the problem is cheapo chinese charger and not the car.
Thanks for the report back and glad everything went well. Can you take advantage of the extended EV charger install tax credit?
