[1] We like the Khyam range of 'Rapidex' (quick erect) tents

I love my unbranded tent. Its square, you just lay it on the ground,
stake the 4 corners, go inside and raise it with the single pole in
the center.

Is this a pole that goes to the ground

Yep, completely separate from the tent when in the car.

as I think I have seen some that open up like
an umbrella with a pull-cord in the middle
but here is no pole that reaches the ground?

No, nothing like that.

Easy to put up in a gale, just stake
the upwind side corners first.

Std practice for most tents if it's windy.

No guys at all.

Most 'guyless' tents come with the option for guys
for when they are being used in a storm etc (and
the instructions recommend you use them).

Nothing for guys to attach to.

Even my inflatable 'igloo' that could just be pegged out on the
two upwind corners' and inflated became much more pleasant
inside without it blowing all over the place. It looked like this:
