Shockingly when you remove protective equipment to place your own aftermarket s*** and then do something incredibly stupid s*** might break. Now would the stock stock thick protective plastic panel have stopped this from damaging the truck? I can't really say but even if it didn't... I know I don't plan to mow down fences with my truck.

I never realized it had a radiator in the front, guessing that is battery and motor cooling?

Yep. More than that though. It's a heat pump system that moves heat energy around as needed. Battery, motors, cabin. Not obvious because it lays at like a 30 degree angle.

Sounds like maybe some parts of Geico don't know what other parts of Geico are doing. Also, not a fan of Torquenews coverage. Like Jalopnik, they come at it from a biased perspective.

Given the crazy news coverage, I'm not surprised some insurers are going high and right. Give it a year to settle. The parts prices we've seen so far dont appear outrageous compared to comparable vehicles. Especially bodywork. Sure the panels cost more, but since a huge amount of collision repair costs of paint matching and blending, you save on all of that.
