Removing Wheels - 2014 Model S

Are there any tricks to removing the lug nuts on the wheels of the 2014 Model S?
Is it normal for lug nuts on a Tesla to be extra tight, and I just need to push through?
Any help or recommendations appreciated!
Trying to remove the front two tires to secure the front fender clips.
 
They are torqued to 131 fooot pounds, which is high. You need to retorque to that spec when you replace. And, ideally, check again after a couple of days driving.

Make sure you have right tools to remove, you don’t want to strip. If in doubt, take to a garage and tell them torque spec.
