Thermopane windows?

That is just one of the things they could do but not the only thing—to ensure whatever rolls off the production line is everything they intended on the "drawing board". Mine rolled off the line and was delivered with all four doors out of alignment. And even then there was no wind noise like some described of theirs. While I didn't have the issue, the misaligned doors for sure isn't what the designers and engineers had in mind (because SC agreed they were out of spec and corrected them, for free, well after the 1 year adjustment period). That points squarely at the manufacturing side of the equation—that practices over there need to tighten up. And RJ's recent posts suggest they've implemented new tech to address that for R2 production.

You insist the shape of the windows are solely responsible for the noise issue. That would mean every single car produced would have his inherent problem. That is clearly not the case.

If you own a Rivian, R1, while driving, press the window slightly and tell me the noise doesn't become greater. We can do a poll and prove me wrong

I have done this (back when it was the hot topic) and I didn’t hear ant difference at all.

You might want to have your hearing checked. You might be suffering some hearing loss. Perhaps too many Metal concerts in the 80s.

The cabin noise will increase with windows cracked open. It physics and is a fact. The acoustic dbs increases from the air buffeting and the pressure gradient between the moving air outside (vehicle is moving) and still air in cabin also creates swirl.

Have any of the actual in the vehicle reviews mentioned double pane windows?

The CarWow video with Matt described R2 road noise in his chapter on Motorway driving, the link should take you to just before his comments. He stated that the windscreen and driver side window (and presumably passenger side window) had acoustic glass.
