Shaquille O’Neal Sold One of His Three Cybertrucks, This Is the Man Who Bought It

Shaquille O’Neal bought not one, not two, but three Cybertrucks. All of them were Cyberbeasts, and all of them were modified. However, he realized they were not exactly his cup of tea, so he sold one of them, and this was the man who bought it.

First, Big Shaq purchased a Tesla Cybertruck Cyberbeast and had it delivered to his mansion in Atlanta. He liked the 845-horsepower tri-motor EV so much that he wanted one in Las Vegas, where he spends much of his time. However, he did not want to ship it to Vegas, so he ordered one more.

Then, he got another Cyberbeast, number 3, delivered to his driveway in Atlanta, because that is what Shaq does: he orders cars, then he forgets he ordered them, and ends up with two or three of the same kind. It has happened to him several times over the past year. But well, that’s Shaq, he has a lot on his mind, he has the right to forget.

A month ago, he decided to get rid of one of the three, a one-off electric truck wrapped in glossy maroon, sporting a widebody kit, and riding on big 25-inch wheels. Effortless Motors listed it four weeks ago. Shaq just passed on the keys, and the man who bought his truck is Brooklyn Nets’ Trendon Wartford.

The 25-year-old basketball player has been dreaming of getting his hands on a Cybertruck for quite some time, while Shaquille O’Neal has been planning to get rid of them. On a podcast last week, Shaq told the host that he was disappointed about the range. The Tesla Cybertruck Cyberbeast can flash from 0 to 60 mph in just 2.6 seconds, but it can’t drive more than 301 miles on a single charge. That is exactly why the basketball legend decided to switch to the Cadillac Escalade IQ. 

Equipped with a massive 200-kWh battery pack, the electric SUV can drive as far as 460 miles before it needs to be plugged in again, which is160 miles more than what the Cybertruck can do. The Caddy is also $30,000 more expensive than the Tesla pickup truck.

However, it probably won’t be long before Shaquille finds a better idea and asks the exotic car dealership Effortless Motors to get him another vehicle. However, they might have to put some effort into it again.

Most of Shaquille O’Neal’s cars need to be modified. Effortless Motors usually extends the rails of the driver’s seat to make room for the big guy to sit behind the wheel. He didn’t seem to have this issue with the Cybertruck, though.

On the podcast, Shaq said he treats all his cars like they were his girlfriends. Now that one of the Cybertrucks is gone, the basketball icon has one girlfriend less.
