How far can this Model S tow a fishing boat? Can I use it to pull a trailer filled with construction materials about thirty miles from the ranch supply to my homestead?

This is a sports sedan not a truck. So it does not tow.

How many miles does it get with one “fill-up?” How about with the AC or Heat cranked up? Can I stop and “top it off” in minutes?

~300 miles, with A/C or heat cranked up. Yes you can if you stop by a supercharger station, just like you will top an ICE car at a gas station.

Does it have more in common with a Car or a Golf Cart?

It is the best automobile available today.

“This is a sports sedan not a truck. So it does not tow.”

- A lot of gasoline powered sports sedans will tow.

“300 miles, with A/C or heat cranked up. Yes you can if you stop by a supercharger station, just like you will top an ICE car at a gas station”

- Of course, there’s one on every corner right next to those archaic fosil fuel service stations!

Assuming the 300 mile claim is accurate, how long will it maintain that? Rechargeable batteries are notorius for decreasing capacity. My liquid gas tank does not shrink.
