FYI 151 ft-lbs is a LOT of torque if you are used to driving regular sedans 80 ft-lbs.

The tightening torque for the wheel lug nuts on a Lightning for ICE F150 is 150 ftâ‹…lbf, going back to the 10th Gen (1990s)

F250s are 165, F450s are 150

just putting into context that 151 is pretty standard truck spec, and also clarifying that there’s nothing BEV specific about it

My experience is with Toyota trucks, depending on the alloy of the wheel Toyotas specs range from 98-154lb if I recall correctly (Tundra and Tacoma)

I should expand on this a little further.

Aluminum rims required the bottom end of torque and steelies required the top end of torque.

My surprise is the assumption that the premium Cybertruck rims are aluminum and still require that high of torque.

OTOH if you're used to doing wheel stuff on model S/3/X/Y, it's not going to feel that much harder than 129 ft-lbs on the torque wrench.
