Cherry‑picking Chinese‑market‑only models like Zeekr (?) for their ridiculous passenger infotainment screens and no buttons seems a bit disingenuous to me, though. All your other concerns from your article are fine otherwise!

Compare the ridiculous Zeekr with what the cheapest EU‑market Byd Dolphin actually looks like here in Europpe:

Physical buttons for climate control, volume and drive regime? Check.
No ridiculous screens? Check
et cetera…

I mean, you'd be hard pressed to tell it's a Chinese car, right? It looks pretty normal to me. €23,000 incl. VAT for the basic version.
Sure, that BYD Dolphin looks pretty normal, but it doesn't erase the existence of the ones presented in the article. Those all look like nightmare cabins to me. Is every Chinese EV full of screens? Obviously not. Are many? Undoubtedly.
