I wonder if there's much benefit moving the battery into the passenger rear footwell area to shorten the massive 12v wire.
I'll likely focus on the driver side loom that runs to the amp/Bluetooth module once I've pulled the modules/headliner & lower hanging fruit

Totally, and happy to contribute where I can. Yes you can shorten the cable way up and plant the battery in the passenger foot well. Lots of examples here. I’m moving all weight items I can toward the rear axle for better weight distribution and grip. A lot of the weight ends up coming from the rear and I’d like to insert it there if I’m pulling it.
Weight relo: moving driver seat position a ~ 12” back, electric power steering pump, battery, fire suppression. I think that’s it.
