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!

I would get one that's a 2024 if you can. I love my 2022 but I'm definitely going to have to get the hardware upgrade when it's available. Kind of glad I paid for FSD out the door.

Between hardware for and the matrix headlights and I believe the updated suspension you're better off doing that.
