I'm in a similar situation with my new car. The battery goes dead in 2 days.
The dealer said it checks out OK.
I think my best recourse is to have the battery tested independently.
Find someone with a Carbon Pile load tester. I rarely test batteries for customers, because I don't want to get in the middle of a mess where "he said my battery is good, so it CAN'T be that"
But, what I see from customers bringing me things to work on where "so and so tested the alternator, or starter, or battery" is that newer testers are all computerized, and do not actually LOAD the part being tested, so you never see a real issue.
Battery drains and draws are especially frustrating, because it could quite literally be anything in the car that's electrical or electronic causing the issue...Only good way we've found is to start unhooking things, and we usually start with the alternator.
For what it's worth,
