People generally recommend the Samsung T7, which is currently $63 on Samsung EPP, but that doesn't come with Costco's legendary return policy should the SSD melt in the summer heat. Among portable SSDs that I've seen, this Costco Lexar, assuming it's identical to the Lexar SL660, has one of the most robust operating temp upper bounds I've seen in this price range: 70C.
For reference, these are the upper bounds for Operating Temps of the portable SSDs I'm considering:
SanDisk Extreme Go 1TB - $64.99 @ Costco: 45C or 113F
Samsung T7 1TB - $62.99 @ Samsung EPP: 60C or 140F
This Lexar SL660? - $69.99 @ Costco: 70C or 158F.
Keep in mind that this Lexar will be running at less than half speed in a Tesla, bc Teslas don't support USB 3.2x2. This should be favorable to operating temperatures as well as longevity, as the Lexar is built to handle much higher temps were the SSD running at full speed vs the last gen drives used in the Sandisk and Samsung.
I'm concerned about operating temps bc recently, my Model 3 has regularly reported 130-140F interior temps even when it's only 90F outside. This translates to 60C--right at the upper bound of the Samsung T7's operating temp.
Obviously, the ssd will continue to work past that upper bound, but that'd likely induce throttling and impact the longevity of the ssd. Anecdotally, some ppl have had issues with the Samsung T7 melting into a pool of thermal paste (from inside the ssd's enclosure) after 2-3 years, and it takes months to get a warranty replacement.

One particular iteration of the SanDisk Extreme (Pro?) external SSD had serious issues that resulted in a high rate of premature failure. Think it was for externals manufactured early this year. iirc, they addressed it with firmware?
Maybe it was this one? Just a guess...expired. https://slickdeals.net/share/android_app/fp/845852

But this one you are getting 18.18 gb per every dollar?
Why is this frontpage vs the other?
The interface of this Lexar is USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 whose speed is twice faster than T7. Though not too many laptops have gen 2x2.
This will be fine for any Xbox games regardless of generation. However, you won't be able to optimized games with their upgraded features unless they're on the internal hard drive or expansion storage. There are 2 TB SSDs at this price that would be better options.
If a game has been enhanced for S/X, you can't play it from the SSD. Even if it plays just fine on a reg old Xbox one etc. It is more games than you think. Fast to copy though from external to internal, that is how I do it.
