I don't know about the BYD, but the Tesla Y has a 5 star rating from ANCAP, Euro NCAP, and the NHTSA. I'm far from a Tesla fanboy. I'm just genuinely curious why you think either is unsafe.
I don’t think we’d ever get real safety statistics about companies in China.
China cares a great deal about its exports, and the testing by ANCAP / NCAP / NHSTA is the same in those export markets. Their safety record is not something they can hide. BYD alone is outselling Tesla, so there will be a large volume of real world data coming along shortly. The NHSTA is too gutless to make Musk share the data but they won't be so shy with Chinese brands.

The approved adhesive was strong enough, but someone changed the process by applying something else so the pedal would slip on easier. That weakened the adhesive and caused the fault.
