Shaquille O'Neal's custom Tesla Cybertruck, featuring widebody carbon fiber construction, has grabbed attention from Elon Musk, who expressed his admiration. The one-of-a-kind vehicle, dubbed "Cyberbeast," showcases impressive design and performance.
Shaq Debuts His First Custom Cybertruck
Shaq, whose real name is Shaquille O'Neal, is a legendary NBA player who just debuted the world's first Tesla Inc. Cybertruck—a vehicle with a widebody carbon fiber construction.
According to Benzinga, Shaq just bought a customized Tesla Cybertruck made by Effortless Motors. The vehicle, which goes by the name "Cyberbeast," is aerodynamically and aesthetically pleasing thanks to its carbon fiber construction and widebody modification.
LeBron James Fuels the Inspiration
It was LeBron James who sparked the idea for this one-of-a-kind Cybertruck. Upon hearing about LeBron's Effortless Motors Cybertruck, Shaq seized the chance to design a vehicle that perfectly complemented his style and stature.
The Cyberbeast was sent to Shaq's Las Vegas residence by Effortless Motors. The vehicle's striking black-on-black paint scheme and enormous 26-inch wheels give it an air of authority on the road.
Musk Reacts to Shaq's Cybertruck with Approval
Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, was really impressed by Shaq's new Cybertruck. The only thing he could say about it was "nice."
Although the exact specifications of this customized Cybertruck are unknown, Shaq's prior tri-motor model could reach 845 horsepower and reach 60 miles per hour in 2.6 seconds.
It's no secret that Shaq's garage is renowned for housing an extraordinary assortment of vehicles that mirror his colossal character. Adding this futuristic and roomy Tesla Cybertruck to his already stellar lineup is a huge coup.
It was reported last month that Shaq opted to buy a new Cybertruck instead of having his current one sent from Las Vegas to Atlanta.
A Growing List of Celebrities Join the Cybertruck Trend
A growing number of famous people, like Shaq, are showing an interest in Tesla's futuristic Cybertruck.
Without resorting to sponsored promotions or incentives, Musk has openly lauded the increasing number of celebrities buying Cybertrucks.
