Can you believe that the insurance company declared it a total loss. Besides the visible damage, the main wiring harness would have to have been replaced. That put it over the threshold of the total loss criteria.
Replacement of a wiring harness in any modern vehicle is absolutely crazy....it's not just in the engine bay to the fuse boxes/main ecu but goes into the interior behind the dash and is plugged into everything. I could easily see it taking a week or more of labour just to replace the harness.
Looks like you lost bumper, hood, fender, passenger door, under shield and fender, potentially some front suspension, headlights/signals/fogs, maybe rad support, washer, and probably a few other things. If I were to guess at parts, body work, labour for fixing that, you'd probably be 15-20k.

You're good! It was just under 18K and yes, the suspension for that wheel was damaged.
On a side note, why car grill appears to be taped over?
I had Plasti-Dipped the grill in black some time ago. The photo is not what it actually looked like—I had to lighten the image quite a bit to get all the dark areas to show. That type of photo editing made the grill looked “washed-out”.
