Add on the road user charges you'll pay in VIC on top of your rego at 2.5c/KM for the Tesla Model 3 and its a tall ask.

Well, you pay 2.5 cents/km for an EV while you pay 5.499 cents/km in fuel excise on top of the actual petrol price (calculated at 13 litre/100 for the 300 SRT which we know is no where near its real world usage; you'd be paying a lot more per kms in fuel excise)
Also, 300 SRT is now dead in Australia.
And its 4.3146 cents/km at the Kia Stingers 10.2 litres/100 (which again is no where near real world).
By my maths, you'd have to use less than 5.9 litres/100 to equal the EV 2.5 cents/km.
It also costs on average $1.10 per/100kms worth of electricity to run an EV in the Eastern States (on coal). I'm sure you'll pay more than that in any car for fuel!
So a whopping $1.10 fuel plus $2.50 Vic tax so $3.60 per 100kms (lets round up to $4 for fun) vs $10.20 per 100 for the Stinger or $13 for the SRT at $1 a litre for fuel which, lets be honest, is not something we see. Tell me again how that is a tall ask?!
