new Apple Vision Pro M5 randomly hard crashing?

I just got the device 3 days ago (M5 chip, 1 TB) and it's hard crashed and just turned off with a black screen 3 times now. I looked and have 3 panic-full type logs in the analytics section and two of the timestamps match up, with the third of them being from before time began (Dec 31, 1969).

Does anyone else's device just randomly hard crash? Is this just a quirk of the Apple Vision Pro? I don't want my damn device crashing once or twice a day on me.

I'm tempted to take it in to the Apple store and force them to replace it and if they refuse, I have a certain grace period to return the device for a refund, right? Then just a buy a replacement unit?

They are kernel type panics that are killing the device but they are very long and I can't seem to parse this with my limited knowledge in this area.
