Depends on the year but it seems there are not too many reportable issues with the 2015. If it was a 2014 I would disconnect it.. We didn't drive our IS350 F sport for 4 days and it was as dead as dead could be. My wife started up our 17 year old AcuraTL with 190,000 miles on it that had been sitting 2 weeks, no issues. This has happened at least 10 times in 2 years (sometimes only 2 days without driving) and Lexus has no answers for us. Was thinking of getting a lawyer but they would charge me a small fortune . We are getting rid of the piece of $h!! as soon as we can afford to buy something else (the car is all paid off).
if anyone has any realistic suggestions let let me know.

Battery tender with quick disconnect cable?
Agreed it should not happen and understand the frustration. I assume they've checked the alternator diode? And ruled out parasitic drain from aftermarket accessories? And used the fuse pull test to measure excessive parasitic drain from other sources?

Not all 2014's
