    So safe to say everyone has put in their two cents about what the Model S is worth?

    Not even close. There is a lot more to say.

    Bonnie I think a Model S is worth WAY more than two cents. Even if everyone on the forum chipped in.

    We could start a raffle. Who wants to donate their Model S?

    Wikipedia mentions US$2.5/Wh, which would amount to US$34.000 for the 85kWh battery, excluding thermal protection, etc. That makes the quoted amount "plausible".

    I hate to nitpick but here, I think, you're using the period as numeric delimiter in two different ways and in a larger post it would be terribly confusing.

    I believe you mean "5/2" for "2.5" whereas I think you mean "34*1000" for "34.000".

    I think, Mr Picky McPicker, that he went Dutch on his separators and forgot to translate the second one.

    Yah, I figured that. The partial conversion is the issue, not the conversion itself.
