New Cybertruck incentive just dropped, only for inventory leases. The 20" Cyber Wheels with Integrated All-Terrain Tires is normally a $3,500 option. Reduces range by a few miles.
Free 20" Cyber Wheel Upgrade

Must order and lease inventory with 20” Cyber wheel upgrade. Price will be deducted from final lease agreement prior to delivery.
Check it out on the Tesla Inventory page, look for the offer in the yellow banner at the top.

I think this means that you can't stack BOTH the $7,500 tax credit AND the wheel upgrade.

If you lease a $79,990 AWD with the wheel upgrade, the price in the final lease agreement rises to $83,490. That's above the $80,000 cap for the tax credit, so you don't get the $7,500. But Tesla then deducts $3,500 from the "final" lease agreement. So you pay $79,990 and get a wheel upgrade. But no tax credit.

What if you lease a $69,990 RWD with the wheel upgrade? Then the price in the final lease agreement should rise, but only to $73,490, which is still below the cap. So you should also get the $7,500 credit, right? Except there's another catch: you have to lease from inventory. And as of right now, the Tesla Inventory page doesn't list any RWDs in inventory.

Seems like maybe this incentive is specifically intended to move inventory vehicles with Cyber Wheels. There should be a rush to lease Cybertrucks in 3Q 2025 before the tax credit expires, but all of the extra demand will be for the credit-eligible $79,990 AWDs, which have the Core Wheels.

I really never quite understood the issue with wheel upgrades in inventory. Seems like such a simple thing to switch.
When we bought our x there were many good matches but all had the “upgraded” large wheels with the range hit and even though they had plenty of cars with the regular wheels in inventory literally on the same lot which we could physically see, we waited almost a month for them to “find” the car with the right configuration for us.
And with respect to the RWD, why would you put those wheels on a car that prioritizes range supposedly over off-road ability?

Well, that's a fair question. But the Cybertruck order page does include that option.

If you do put the Cyber Wheels + AT tires on a RWD, then the estimated range drops from 354 to 335 miles. But hey, that's still slightly longer than an AWD with Core Wheels (325 miles) or a CB with Core Wheels (320 miles).

Ok, maybe branding the RWD as the "Long Range" version is a bit of a stretch. But realistically, what else do you expect Tesla to call it? The "Stripped" version? The "Low Performance" version? The "Budget" version? Seems like "Long Range" is the best option, and I'm sure that the range really is longer. Just not by a lot.
