One windshield wiper motor, usually mechanically coupled if there are two wipers.
And, one rear-window wiper, right?

I had no idea the main drive motor and inverter would be liquid cooled

Yeah, that was news to me too. Turns out EVs aren't quite as much of a simplification over ICE cars as we might have hoped. Still plenty to go wrong down the road.

Since there is a liquid cooling system, it must get rid of the heat in a "radiator" of some sort. Usually that would require air flow to remove the heat from the radiator. Possibly a fan, IF cooling is still needed when the car is not moving.
Charger Cooling Fan:
Perhaps the L1/L2 charger in the back (in the left-right "cliff" behind the rear seat, in the cargo area) needs some cooling, probably air, and a fan.

Yes - but technically, servos are a type of electric motors

Servos?
I THINK all those listed are motors, but ...
which one(s) do you think are servos?
A CD/DVD lens-focus "motor" is a servo, and the fine radial tracking is a servo, but the coarse radial positioning is probably a motor (and not on my list).
The electric door lock/unlock is a "motor" of sorts, but usually just a "solenoid", often rotary these days, rather than linear.

Do the batteries have a forced air cooling system?

Water pump is #8, Coolant
No battery forced air cooling, as far as we know.

What no power seats? How can we possibly get along without those?
And a motor to power the tilt steering? It's amazing there's enough copper in the world to satisfy all these "needs".

I doubt it is the copper, but the added weight.
