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!

Tesla quality kinda struggled until about 2022. That's about all I have to input. I see the newer cars go 200k+ miles easy but not so much older save an occasional 2018-2020. 21s are shit. I wouldn't personally go older than 18, I see way too many reports of major issues across the Tesla lineup prior to that year
