Chances are there is OSS already running in commercially available vehicles.

Owners tinkering with ICE vehicles was and is a thing and I don't see how an electric power train makes that too much different.

Open standards and data formats would be a good middle ground to help avoid the type of problem with Fisker "unable" to migrate to a different provider. Although I wish that vehicles did not have to phone home to the mother ship at all.

Of course there is, but I don't want the whole thing to be OSS code run by people with no skin in the game.
That's a good point. Hardware + software seems a lot harder than just software too.
