Going on vacation. Leave the car plugged to charger or charge when return? Thanks.

From what I have read you are ok leaving it charging. I bet for a week it does not really matter.

For a week it is not even necessary to plug it in. There is almost no battery drain. I lost 1% SoC over an entire month.

Did you have it plugged in when leaving for a month?

I've left it unplugged for 1-2 weeks at a time without any issues, almost no power drain during that period of time. Just try not to leave it at 100% or a very high level as those kind of batteries shouldn't sit for long at full charge.

No. I only left Interior Monitoring off to avoid that energy consumption:

Guidance is < 72 hrs (12V issue).

May no longer be relevant now post WMA upgrade campaign.

No need to leave connected in any case.
