Tesla chief Elon Musk has reacted to Shaquille O’Neal’s one-of-a-kind carbon fiber Cybertruck in his own inimitable fashion.
The NBA legend recently showed off his new wheels which he’s had specially customized.
O’Neal – or Shaq as he’s better known – enlisted the help of Effortless Motors to completely transform his Cybertruck into a widebody variant with a carbon fiber exterior.
It looks mean as anything – you can check it out in the clip above.

Shaq’s custom Cybertruck looks mean
The truck is the newest addition to Shaq’s growing – and incredible – car collection.
Parked up in Shaq’s garage, you’ll find some exquisite cars, including an Apocalypse monster truck, a 1963 Cadillac Eldorado Convertible, a Customised Chevrolet Express G1500, and a Lamborghini Gallardo.
Oh, and not one, but two Cybertrucks.
Yep – you read that correctly; the former NBA star decided to add an additional Cybertruck to his already bulging collection so that he could have one in Las Vegas and one in Atlanta.
How the other half live, right?
However, it seems he wasn’t quite content with a stock standard Tesla and was inspired to create something unique after seeing that LeBron James had got himself a customized Cybertruck from Effortless Motors.
Shaq reached out to ask for something all-black that would turn heads on the street, and that’s certainly what he got.
It caught Tesla boss Elon Musk’s attention
In fact, the one-off creation even caught the eye of Tesla boss Musk.
A post of the Cybertruck, alongside a very happy-looking Shaq, was shared on X with the caption: “Shaq’s new Tesla Cybertruck” alongside the fire emoji, prompting Musk to reply simply: “Nice”.
Nice

He’s not wrong, is he?
The customized truck features a carbon-kit body and completely black wheels and has had the standard white LED bars changed to red.
It also has a red under glow, which makes the Tesla seem like it came straight out of an action movie.
Alongside that, the widebody modification increases its stance and road presence – making it one of the meanest vehicles we’ve seen in a while.
So we have to agree with Musk on this one, the Cybertruck is indeed ‘nice’.
