I don't think the average fisker or lucid purchaser is willing to do 500V hacking. In fact, I would wager the DIY fisker/lucid community might be less than 6 people.

I admire the spirit but I just don't think hackers will do much with $100k bricks beyond salvage components.

Absolutely. But they may be willing to pay someone to swap a component. EV hacking is a small community still, but with more of them on the road every year more and more people get interested. If $100k are turned into a $0 brick and you can turn it back into $100k there is a commercial as well as academic interest there.
