Someone else brought it up, I'm just pointing out how the OEM wrenches are designed be used. And no, you will not be attaching a pipe to it, all you will be doing on the side of the road would be at best having your foot on the flat end, and at most hopping up and down on it (using body of vehicle to keep balance) until it loosens. The hopping motion will apply additional force.It will bend if you attach a pipe to it in an attempt to remove the lug nuts that were torqued to 300+ ft-lbs.
What is this discussion even about? Teslas do not come with any wrench. Make sure your lug nuts are torqued correctly and carry the appropriate length wrench if you want to be able to remove them ($20 Harbor Freight 1/2" torque wrench is what I've got in my frunk).
They are not designed for you to rely on your arms, as they are too short for most people to apply enough torque that way (as the person mentioned).
