> China might sell me the car I want: simple, ultra reliable, long range, no infotainment system, no tracking, no subscriptions, no attempts to foist software on me, and made of standard parts making it cheap to repair. Just a motor, battery, wheels, and basic car comforts.

But it won't be like that, will it. There will be an infotainment system with broken features and no updates, there will be tracking and of course some software is inevitable in modern cars, not least because the regulations demand that. There will be no standard parts. The reliability remains to be seen.
