It's why insurance exists.
$13k is a lot, but the FWD are quite structurally robust. As such, when they're out and hit something, well, a lot of damage is done.
Life is short; don't stress about it. Just chalk it up to "tuition of life."

This scares me enough where I am hyper vigilant whenever the FWDs are open.
Frankly, the car is smart enough to know when it's very near or in its "home" garage. If any FWD is open, there should be some massive, can't miss, alert.
Even better: a brake or throttle "override" that prevents the car from moving absent a specific action by the driver, like pushing a "Falcon Wing Door Open OVERRIDE" alert on the MCU. As a HF Engineer by training, there have been so many of these accidents that it seems like an overdue no-brainer to implement something like this.
If a FWD is open and you put the car in D or R, the car starts chirping pretty loudly. It's just a problem that humans get really good at tuning out all the alerts that we are confronted with now.
I do like the idea to have a software setting that says you cannot put the car into D or R if the one of the FWDs (or trunk) is open. I'd totally set it.
