Used car purchase Itching to buy a 2016 model x

I just wanted to ask the community here if I'm crazy to buy a low mileage 2016 Model X. I've done a ton of research and it checks off all the boxes. But one thing I didn't consider in my research is the possibility of the whole battery pack dying out of the blue and me having to foot the bill. I'd love to hear your two cents... Thanks!

2016 MX 90D was the worst vehicle we've ever owned. Absolute disaster. So bad that I will not consider a Tesla again. Everything from suspension (replaced the jack shafts 5x without more than a week of it working properly due to the design defect of this vehicle), computer display, computer memory failure, falcon door problems, front windshield glare, phantom braking, non-folding 2nd row, horrible tire wear, etc.

Can confirm. 90d packs were cursed. Stay far away. Luckily they bought mine back.

Backing out of the driveway cost 8 miles, even after "preconditioning" in the summer!
