What Happened: Shaq’s latest acquisition is a customized Tesla Cybertruck, crafted by Effortless Motors. The vehicle, dubbed the “Cyberbeast,” boasts a widebody kit and carbon fiber construction, making it both lighter and visually striking.
The inspiration for this unique Cybertruck came from LeBron James. After learning about LeBron’s custom Cybertruck from Effortless Motors, Shaq saw an opportunity to create a vehicle that suited his style and size.
Effortless Motors delivered the Cyberbeast to Shaq’s home in Las Vegas. The vehicle features massive 26-inch rims and a black-on-black color scheme, adding to its commanding road presence.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk was left impressed with Shaq's new Cybertruck. He had a one-word reaction to it: "nice."
Nice

While performance specs for this custom Cybertruck are not detailed, Shaq’s previous tri-motor Cybertruck could achieve 845 hp and accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 2.6 seconds.
Shaq’s garage is already known for its impressive collection of vehicles that match his larger-than-life personality. The addition of this futuristic and spacious Tesla Cybertruck further enhances his legendary lineup.
Why It Matters: Last month, it was reported that Shaq chose to purchase another Cybertruck instead of shipping his existing one from Las Vegas to Atlanta.
The unveiling of Shaq’s custom Cybertruck is part of a broader trend among celebrities who are gravitating toward Tesla’s futuristic vehicles. Musk has publicly praised the growing list of celebrities purchasing Cybertrucks, highlighting their appeal without any discounts or paid promotions.
In March, Steve Aoki and Big Sean were among the latest celebrities to join the Cybertruck craze, further cementing its status as a must-have accessory in the entertainment world.
