How big is a Tesla Model S gas tank?

Does the Tesla Model S have a backup gas tank? If so, how big is the tank?

Teslas
 run on electric motors—so they don’t actually have a gas tank, not even as an emergency backup.
The electric motor in the
Tesla Model S
 is powered by a rechargeable lithium-ion battery. Since it doesn’t need gas to run, it also doesn’t need a gas tank! The
Model S
 battery takes approximately 10 hours to reach a full charge, after which it’s capable of lasting up to 400 miles before needing to be charged again.
Whether your car runs on gas or batteries, match pace with
savings

If I have no proof that I owned certain pricey items, will I still be paid for damage or loss after filing a claim?
"I own some expensive electronics, handbags, and jewelry, but I don't have photos or receipts for all of them. If I file a home insurance claim for these items without proof that I ever owned them, will they still be covered? "
