Have you seen a Tesla Cybertruck on the road in your neighborhood? They’re big…and shiny…and pretty darned cool. So cool that our man Shaq has set himself up with a nice little collection of three of them! You can check out previous posts here on the ShaqFu Radio blog for more info on how the big man came to have a big collection of the latest Tesla EV.
If you’ve seen any of the pics of Shaq’s number one Cybertruck – also known as the “Cyberbeast” – it’s truly an impressive ride. Looks like something out of a Mad Max movie, but it’s totally legit, totally the real thing. The company that created the Cyberbeast for O’Neal is called Effortless Motors. They build specialty and modified vehicles for anyone with the cash and the need for something special. So you know that means celebrities of all kinds are checking out what Effortless has to offer.
In a series of recent social media posts, Effortless Motors post pics of Cybertrucks they’ve built for clients including Shaq, current NBA star LaMelo Ball, rapper Slim Thug and Kim Kardashian. Yes, that Kim Kardashian! Why she would want a modified Cybertruck is beyond us, but hey…whatever works for you, Kim. We’re cool with it.
Along with posting pics of the various Cybertrucks they’ve built for stars and sports celebs, Effortless created a little online poll to see which modified Tesla was the coolest of the cool. Just this week, Effortless posted the winner. Guess who? “Round 1: Shaq’s Cyberbeast crushed it! Now, who’s ready for round 2? Let’s see the hardest Cybertruck in the game,” Effortless Motors captioned the post, conducting a second round of polls.
The BIG Podcast with SHAQ
Almost 13 hundred people responded to the poll, and our man Shaq was the clear and convincing winner, scoring top rankings with about 77% of those voting. As per some responses on the IG post, one commenter wrote that O’Neal’s Cybertruck resembles a “modified batmobile.” Indeed, the jet-black paintwork with the sharp edges gives it that look. Meanwhile, one user stated Kim’s ride was more like an “air conditioning unit…” (We’re not sure if that’s a good thing…or not…)
Shaq talked a bit about the Effortless Motors poll with his guest, rapper 2 Chainz, on a recent edition of his Big Podcast With Shaq. The rapper made some comments about Shaq’s knowledge – or lack thereof – of the cars and other toys in the Big Man’s collection.
Now it seems the Cybertruck / Cyberbeast poll is going to round two. On the podcast, 2 Chainz wanted in on the voting, to which Shaq replied, “We going to give this to the people? 2 Chainz’s, Lil Baby’s, Funny Marco’s or Shaq’s Cyberbeast. Who has the best one… Just put it on the poll,” O’Neal asked during the episode.
Not to be outdone, someone on IG posted a poll of their own, asking: Is Shaquille O’Neal’s Cybertruck truly the best among the celebrity lineup?
Here’s your choice of answers:
- Absolutely, Shaq’s the king of cars
- No way, others have better rides
- It’s all about personal taste
- Who cares about celebrity cars?
Results for round two? In the “official” poll set up by Effortless Motors on Shaq’s podcast clip, the NBA icon received 74% of the 324 responses. Only Lil Baby reached 10% with 2 Chainz and Funny Marco sharing the third spot with 8% each.
By the way, there’s an LA Lakers connection to all this… what a surprise, right? Seems that Shaq got hooked up to Effortless Motors and the other companies that do upgrades and modifications through current Laker superstar LeBron James. Keeping it in the family, right?
That’s all for now. We’re going to head for Google and find out exactly what Kim Kardashian’s Cybertruck looks like. Yes, we’re curious… See you on the streets.
