Does the 2015–2016 Tesla Model S 70D have free supercharging?

SC01 free supercharging is possible for this trim. Whether a specific car has it depends on that vehicle: decode the VIN to see the SC code on record, and confirm the current code with the seller before buying. Transfer policy is Tesla's to set and change.

Which Autopilot hardware does the Model S 70D have?

Could be AP1 or AP2, depending on the exact build date.

Does the Model S 70D have the LDU coolant seal issue?

No. Non-performance dual motor cars use a different motor without the rotor coolant seal issue.
