As it turns out, some Tesla owners could love their Cybertruck so much, they would end up buying it twice. This seems to be the case with NBA Hall of Famer Shaquille “Shaq” O’Neal, who recently took delivery of his second Tesla Cybertruck. This time around, Shaq’s Cybertruck was delivered completely set up, black wrap, 26-inch rims, and red underlights included.
Shaq has noted that he wanted a second Cybertruck as a matter of convenience. In a social media post, Effortless Motors shared a video featuring Shaq stating that he was getting another Cybertruck. “I hate to sound soft, but I’m missing my Cybertruck, and I don’t want to ship it from Vegas to Atlanta. So, I’m just going to go ahead and buy another one, so I’mma need another one,” O’Neal said.
The video also showed the NBA legend specifically mentioning that he would like his second Cybertruck to be “black on black.” Considering the setup that was done for the vehicle, which included wide carbon fiber fender flares from Unplugged Performance’s Invincible line and massive 26-inch wheels, it was no surprise that the NBA Hall of Famer loved his second all-electric truck.
“I hate to say it, but I got the cleanest Cybertruck in the country,” Shaq said as he saw his second Cybertruck for the first time.
Shaq acquired both his Cybertrucks through Effortless Motors, but the story behind his EV purchase was quite a tale on its own. As noted in a Fadeaway World report, Shaq was initially acquainted with Effortless Motors after the company was criticized by NBA star LeBron James due to an intern’s erroneous post. Shaq reached out to Effortless Motors, and he happened to see the Cybertruck.
The all-electric pickup truck piqued his interest, so he ended up purchasing the vehicle, a Cyberbeast. A video shared by Effortless Motors showing Shaq taking delivery of his Cyberbeast showed that the NBA legend was quite excited for his Cybertruck. It seems like the pickup truck ultimately won over the NBA legend. People like Shaq, after all, can purchase any vehicle they want, so it says a lot when they opt to get the same vehicle twice.
