It is almost like a charcoal filter type of fabric. A rough open weave.Interesting. First I see this. What kind of fabric is it? Does it feel like it lets air through easily?
Then I guess it has to be for sound dampening. It hasn't been officially confirmed, but the opening most likely has multiple purposes that require it to be air permeable (pressure equalization to make trunk lid and doors easier to close, exit vent for air pumped into the cabin by the HVAC system, and possibly air duct for the subwoofer in the trunk).It is almost like a charcoal filter type of fabric.

There was no glass in the older builds, just the mesh. It has nothing to do with letting light into the trunk.I don’t think he was prefect with the glass. When viewed in certain lights, the mesh is quite transparent. Check out Doug DeMuro’s video. I could be wrong but...
Wow. I had the mesh on my car (November delivery) and used a small pillow as a similar solution. It made the car a little quieter. I then completely sealed it with noico sound deadening foam.
The doors are harder to close but car is now quieter.
Do you notice a decrease in the subwoofer sound?
I have been very tempted to cover that hole up in my car.

That port into the trunk is the only way for the air that enters the cabin through the climate control to exit the cabin on it's way to the two rear side exit portlets. The car is very air-tight so blocking that vent is not a good idea. With recirculate off and the windows and doors closed you will get very little air flow through the heater/A/C.
Not a good idea.
ok but you saw the picture above with the baffle inserted from the factory right? Every other car I've owned seems to have figured out airflow without a huge cutout in the trunk. Shrug.

Where are the rear side exit portlets. I pull out the carpet to put in noico and didn’t see any holes. Hopefully I didn’t block the portlet holes with noico...
Perhaps holes in the rear deck are a Volvo thing, but they are not anything I've seen in the 15 or so cars I've owned in my life.
The factory part is probably a special fabric that is air permeable. It doesn't mean that sealing the vent airtight is a good idea.The first post in this thread shows a sound baffle that was provided from the factory, indicating that perhaps Tesla had a shortage of these and that's why many of us have a big hole in the rear deck.
Vents in the rear deck are actually quite common in sedans. Ford, BMW and others have very similar ones.Perhaps holes in the rear deck are a Volvo thing, but they are not anything I've seen in the 15 or so cars I've owned in my life.
