Found a source that estimates the Model S will use 300Wh/mile (is that an accurate real world estimate?).

I drive about 15,000 miles annually in my Prius. There will probably be fewer long trips in the Model S, but also more local trips, so I'm assuming similar annual mileage.

If my math is accurate that's 300Wh/mile *15,000 miles = 4,500,000 Wh or 4,500kWh per annum and 375kWh/month.

At $0.11/kW that's about $41.25/month in juice.

Just trying to estimate what my total energy use needs will be for my home in anticipation of Solar City coming to give me an estimate.

Any of my math or assumptions bad?
