So, even at the slowest speed reversing out of the garage at a slight angle, it is very possible to rip off the door handle if they are still out.....

Car still locks and unlocks but have to access via passenger side.....

I'll let you all know how much it costs to get fixed.....(I suspect quite a lot....)

Ouch :( . Hope it's all fixed fairly quickly for you and without breaking the bank.

Might be a lesson in there for me to lock the doors before I get rolling in future.

Ouch! I’m sure it was gutting to hear and see that. Hopefully the parts are quickly available and the paint match is done well.
I guess it could have been the rear haunch that took a big scrape so thankful it wasn’t worse.
Let us know when it’s back to it’s former self and you can put the episode behind you.

Hope it doesn't cost too much. Hate those type of accidents we all have at one time or another.

Now I must check.
I always asumed the door handles closed immediately once the engine started.
Fortunately I have a bit more room to spare than the original poster, plus I am used to parking a Jeep Grand Cherokee with non-retracting side mirrors!.

They don't close until the car locks, you can set the driveaway lock speed through Vehicle Settings.

Or manually with the interior lock/unlock button I guess.
Then it’s only the mirrors to watch out for if not auto-fold 😳
