**2016 Tesla Model X 90D — Lifetime Free Supercharging (Transfers to You) | New AC, Screens, Wheels & Tires | 6-Seat | Midnight Silver Metallic | 99k Miles | Full Tesla Service History**
—
## Listing Description
### The one thing that makes this car rare
This 2016 Model X carries **verified, transferable Free Unlimited Supercharging for life** — confirmed by Tesla Support and visible live in the Tesla app as “Free Supercharging — Lifetime Award — VIN 2118.” This perk is tied to the vehicle VIN (option code SC01) and transfers to the new owner via private sale. You will never pay a cent to charge this car at any Tesla Supercharger, anywhere, for as long as you own it.
This feature was discontinued by Tesla in early 2017. You cannot get it on any new or newer used Tesla. The pool of cars that still carry it gets smaller every year.
**This is a private sale only. SC01 does not transfer through dealers or Tesla trade-ins — only private party.**

### What this saves you — the real numbers
At current LA Supercharger rates of up to $0.63/kWh and $6/gallon gas, here is what free lifetime Supercharging is worth to you:
| Scenario | Without SC01 | With this car |
—————————————————-|-——————————|———————- —-|
| Annual charging cost (15k miles) | $2,700/year | $0 |
| 5 years | $13,500 | $0 |
| 10 years | $27,000 | $0 |
| vs. gas SUV at $6/gal (22mpg) | $4,090/year | $0 |
| Gas savings over 5 years | $20,450 | $0 |
**Cross-country road trip math:**
– LA to New York (2,800 miles) in a gas SUV at national avg $4/gal: $509 one way
– LA to New York in this car: $0
– Do that trip once a year for 10 years: $5,090 saved on that single route alone
—
### The ultimate road trip vehicle
Tesla’s Supercharger network covers every major highway corridor in the country — and with lifetime free Supercharging on this car, every mile of every road trip costs you nothing in fuel. Ever.
Drive LA to New York. New York to Miami. Miami to Chicago. Seattle to San Diego. $0 each way, every time, for as long as you own this car. The navigation plans your charging stops automatically — you just drive.
Combined with Falcon Wing doors that open at national park trailheads, six captain’s chairs for the whole crew, AWD for mountain passes and desert highways, a frunk for valuables and wet gear, and 257 miles of range — this is the road trip vehicle that pays for itself every time you leave the driveway.
—
### Ideal Uber Black SUV platform
The Model X 90D qualifies for Uber Black SUV — LA’s highest rideshare fare tier. The electric drivetrain means near-zero maintenance costs: no oil changes, minimal brake wear from regenerative braking, no transmission service. Even paying standard Supercharger rates, energy costs run approximately $0.18/mile versus $0.27/mile for a comparable gas SUV — a savings of roughly $4,000/year in combined fuel and maintenance at typical rideshare mileage.
The Falcon Wing doors opening for a passenger is an arrival experience no competitor vehicle can match.
—
### Who is this car perfect for?
**The road tripper or adventure traveler**
You do 2-3 major trips a year. You’ve done the math. You know SC01 saves you $500-$1,000 per trip. This car pays for itself in fuel savings alone over 5-7 years while you see the country for free.
**The outdoor adventure family**
Ski trips to Mammoth. Desert camping at Joshua Tree. Surfing in Santa Barbara. AWD, a frunk for wet and muddy gear, Falcon Wing doors that open fully even parked in snow, and third-row fold-flat cargo. Drive everywhere, pay nothing for fuel.
**The airport family**
You’re close to LAX. Six seats, massive cargo, and Falcon Wing doors make loading the whole family and their luggage effortless. Destination chargers at most major airport hotels mean you arrive charged. No more Uber Black bills just to get to your terminal.
**The growing or multi-generational family**
Six captain’s chairs — no middle seat fights. Each second-row passenger gets their own space. Rear touchscreen entertains the kids. $2,700/year in charging savings goes straight back into the family budget. Autopilot, cameras, and sensors for parents who take safety seriously.
**The home solar owner**
You’ve got solar panels or you’re planning to install them. Free Supercharging for road trips plus near-free home solar charging = essentially $0 fuel cost for the life of the car. This is the combination that makes EV ownership extraordinary. LA has the highest solar adoption rate in the country — you know who you are.
**The client-facing professional**
Real estate agent. Entertainment attorney. Consultant. Producer. You pull up in a Model X with Falcon Wing doors opening and you’ve already made an impression before you’ve said a word. Seats 6, wireless charging, premium sound, massive screens. A rolling office that doubles as a statement.
**The tech-forward dual-income couple**
No kids yet. Environmentally conscious. You appreciate good design and you love a good story. The SC01 story is one you’ll tell at every dinner party. Weekend runs up PCH, wine country, Vegas, Coachella — all $0 in fuel. Forever.
**The Uber Black driver**
LA’s highest rideshare tier. Premium fares, premium vehicle. Near-zero maintenance costs, dramatic passenger experience, and operating cost savings of ~$4,000/year versus a gas competitor.
