I thought about saying something but then thought it might be taken the wrong way.
A great way that I have often used is take the Castle Nut or Standard nut if they are not using a castle nut and flip it over. 99% of these nuts have a lip built into them with little to no threads at the end. So screw it down until its almost flush with the stud coming up and then hit that with the hammer. This way you shouldn't damage any threads or the stud itself and you can get those stubborn ones loose. (These cars are so new though that you shouldn't have that issue)
