Former NBA star Shaq has sold a Tesla Cybertruck, after amassing three of them and falling out of love with the EV.
Shaq loves to flex his wealth online and does this mostly via his very impressive collection of cars.
Incredibly, he bought not one, not two, but three Tesla Cybertrucks, all of them being in Cyberbeast form.
He’s also had them modified. But it’s clear he felt it was time to move on with them, as he has decided to sell one of them on to a new owner.

The basketball legend originally bought a Cybertruck Cyberbeast EV for delivery to his mansion in Atlanta.
He liked it so much, he had one Tesla ordered to his other home in Las Vegas, where he spends most of his time.
Then he decided to get another one ordered to his Atlanta driveway, simply because he loved it.
Shaq has poked fun at himself online over ordering extra cars and then forgetting that he had it!
Around a month ago, however, something changed, and Shaq decided it was time to move on from one of the Teslas.
It turned out the man who bought the Cybertruck was Brooklyn Nets’ Trendon Watford.
The truck Watford had bought was a one-off wrapped in a glossy maroon.
Shaq had also added a widebody kit to the EV, as well as new, larger, 25-inch wheels.
The legend’s friends at Effortless Motors listed the car around a month ago, and the sale was quickly concluded.
It made perfect sense for Trendon Warford to buy Shaq’s Cybertruck.
The basketball player had been eyeing one up for a while, and he had a chance to buy a truly unique example.
Particularly as Shaq has, it seems, fallen out of love with the Tesla recently.
He was disappointed by its range of 301 miles and has instead switched to the Cadillac Escalade IQ.
This EV has a 200KWH battery pack and enough range for 460 miles.
The star may well sell his other Cybertrucks he owns, if he’s really fallen out of love with them.
You have to wonder, however, if he has another on order that he’s also forgotten about!
