It looks like the 2015 Leaf has a 24 kWh battery. The current entry-level Model S has a 75 kWh battery and it can have up to a 100 kWh battery.

That matters because battery capacity fade increases non-linearly with depth of cycling. If both a Leaf owner and a Model S owner drive 40 miles per day, I'd expect the Leaf battery capacity to fade more than 3x as fast as the Model S capacity, because of the deeper battery cycling. That's true even of the Model S 60/60D that had a 75 kWh battery software-locked to 60 kWh of usable capacity. The capacity fade is linked to the physical characteristics of the battery; the software unlock to a full 75 kWh just bought the option to discharge the battery more deeply for longer uninterrupted driving.

So, a net price of about $1K/kWh of battery seems to be the going rate.

Correct. And when the Roadster was released, it was the price of just the battery.
