A model S uses something like 300 watt hours per mile. You would need 6 hours of sun at optimum angle with 750 watt solar array to get the 4,500 watt need to go 15 miles.
They aren't fitting a 750 watt solar array on the roof of this thing. Maybe some kind of fold out array would be possible but I still think the size would be a problem for anything not the size of an RV. 750 watts of solar panels is pretty big.

Highway and acceleration will consume more watts, so it might be slightly better in low-grade, off-road situations.
