I don't have a Taycan yet (still waiting for an allocation), but a common cause of wind buffeting with windows closed could be that the rear hatch (on estate cars) is not perfectly sealed. Again, no Taycan CT here, so I don't know exactly, but often there are "rubber stoppers" which can be adjusted to make sure the rear hatch closes snugly and leveled.

I wonder does the buffering stop if a window is slightly open? That would suggest an issue with the trunk/boot door seal. (Acknowledging that the outside wind noise might drown it out).
Yes it does. I do believe it’s a seal issue. I can feel the pressure changing in my ears. I do NOT have roof rails.

Unfortunately there are no rubber stoppers. It’s all hydraulic and I’m hoping there’s a way to adjust it. I’ve never gotten a “hatch open” warning and the seams all line up good, so it must be a very subtle leak.
