I'm not an expert here. That is just what I summize from the info I found. There could be other factors.

On the Taycan forums, at least one person is complaining about stuff getting kicked up by the tire so they want to block those rear vents.
Next time I see a Taycan I will check closely, but it seems to have 2 ducts on this. The center one for brake cooling, and the one closer to edge for drag reduction.
