Progress!
So today I had a friend of mine driving while I climbed to the trunk hunting for noise. I am now fairly certain the whistle came from the very back of the trunk, near the rear license plate area. I inspected the area and I noticed there's an open gap around the backup camera - that is now suspect #1. Other potential suspects include external trunk latch, and rear license screw holder. Bottomline, I suspect the area right below the T E S L A letters, the underside where the trunk lights/latch/backup camera are (or maybe even the T E S L A plastic piece itself?) It kinda make sense as there might be swirls of wind behind the car that spins in the clock wise direction, if the car is facing left. This would also explain why all my previous efforts at taping up everything else made ZERO impact on this whistling noise whatsoever.
Anyhow, might not have time to test out my own theory in the next few days, but others are welcome to test it out!
Thanks for doing this! I was about to attempt the same thing, but my wife was not down with me being in the trunk at 80+ mph. I'll take a look around the area you described tomorrow.
