NBA legend Shaquille O’Nealalso known as Shaq, presented his new Tesla Inc. Cybertruck with widebody design made of carbon fiber, the world’s first of its kind.
What happened: Shaq’s latest achievement is a customized Tesla Cybertruck made by Effortless Motors. Dubbed the “Cyberbeast,” the vehicle features a widebody kit and carbon fiber construction that makes it both lighter and more visually appealing.
The inspiration for this unique Cybertruck came from LeBron James. After learning about LeBron’s customized Cybertruck from Effortless Motors, Shaq saw an opportunity to create a vehicle that matched 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 impressive road presence.
Tesla boss Elon Musk was impressed by Shaq’s new Cybertruck. His reaction was one word: “nice.”

Although the performance specs of this customized Cybertruck are not detailed, Shaq’s previous Cybertruck with three motors was capable of producing 845 horsepower and accelerating 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, and the addition of this futuristic and spacious Tesla Cybertruck expands his legendary collection even further.
Why it is important: Last month, it was reported that Shaq opted to purchase another Cybertruck rather than ship his existing one from Las Vegas to Atlanta.
The unveiling of Shaq’s customized Cybertruck is part of a broader trend among celebrities embracing Tesla’s futuristic vehicles. Musk has publicly praised the growing list of celebrities purchasing Cybertrucks, emphasizing how attractive they are without discounts or paid promotions.
In March Steve Aoki And Big Sean were among the latest celebrities to join the Cybertruck trend, further cementing its status as a must-have accessory in the entertainment world.
