Well, even if that is not the cause of the issue, it looks like something that needed to be replaced anyway.

That damn salt water! Even when you think it's sealed water gets in. I'm surprised it was still working and yea, it was pretty high up. Water did not get that high did it?
Stupid question: Are you saying that salt water penetrates into more places than fresh water?

No , but all metals and alloys when in contact with sea water corrode like crazy. Maybe I did not articulate myself well.

No, you were fine. The problem is more like I forgot everything I learned in high-school chemistry and related classes.
Thanks,

I think you are purposely dragging things out to keep us on the edge of our chairs.
It's going to be the last thing you check - so it goes with my repairs!
Well, to continue checking after you found the fault would be a bit silly, wouldn't it?

The problem with this thread is that it is now in real time, so when there's an issue you all struggle with me for a few days till I figure it out.
Most people will struggle in silence, then post a story on how they figured it out after the fact.
But I'm brining you guys down with me
AFAIK, rear wheel cars use the metal bumper carrier. It's actually a Mg alloy, which is probably the reason that it was redesigned with a composite (Mg is very susceptible to corrosion). There was a modification to the galvanic isolating hardware that supports the carrier, but as my car apparently never received the updated hardware, it began corroding, a lot. I don't know if they're interchangeable, but know that they replaced mine with another Mg one this past July..

The ABS would work as it is not linked to the battery-temp in anyway.
On standard cars we had the problem with ABS if the steering angle sensor is defective.
Does anybody know where this sensor is located in a Tesla?

Regarding the steering angle sensor I checked the Mercedes files (as the steering wheel and it´s
components are manufactured by the same subsupplier as Mercedes):
It is part number 9 in the picture. Maybe it´s worth to check this sensor and it´s connectors too.
Part no 8 is the driver for the sensor and general contact for the steering-wheel extra functions.

Right, I'm suggesting that regen and ABS are different issues.

If ABS isn't working properly regen is switched off too (due to safety reason with regen on slippery roads).
That's why I would start with the ABS problem first.
ABS problems could stop the regen.
But regen won't influence the ABS.
Maybe there are 2 problems but I would expect just one - caused by fault somewhere around the ABS.

Have you tried initializing the steering wheel sensor? While stationary turn the wheel all the way left to lock, then all the way right to lock. The system doesn't know the angle of the wheel until it measures the turns lock to lock. Not sure if the newer Bosch systems need that but all the old systems do. A angle sensor fault OR battery disconnection will require turning the wheel back and forth until the system figures it out. This will give the trifecta on 4x4 vehicles (ABS, Stability Control, Hill Descent Control) or ABS, Stability control fault on non 4x4 vehicles.
