What’s better than having one Tesla Cybertruck? Well, having two of them and NBA Hall of Famer Shaquille O’Neal has just acquired his second one. In typical O’Neal fashion, it isn’t just any Cybertruck either, as he got the first widebody Carbon Fiber one.

O’Neal acquired both of his Cybertrucks from Effortless Motors. They make bigger versions of it called the “Cyberbeast” and this second one has massive 26-inch rims. If you’re wondering why O’Neal wanted two of them, it was purely a matter of convenience.

“I hate to sound soft, but I’m missing my Cybertruck but I don’t want to ship it from Vegas to Atlanta,” O’Neal said. “So, I’m just going to go ahead and buy another one, so I’mma need another one.”

When you have a net worth of around $500 million like O’Neal, you can easily afford a second Cybertruck just to avoid shipping your first one to another location. As for how the 52-year-old and Effortless Motors’ paths crossed, it was because of LeBron James. Earlier this year, O’Neal explained how he got his first Cybertruck from them.

“Can I tell you how I got my Cybertruck? … Effortless Motors tagged that they sold LeBron a car,” O’Neal said. “LeBron got upset… (saying) ‘You liar’ or whatever. So, I was thinking if LeBron could fit in this car and he don’t want it, let me call him and just say, ‘Hey, Bron 6’9″/6’10,” let me see it.’

“Whenever I buy cars, I know I can’t fit in, I have to look at the backseat,” O’Neal continued. “If there’s six to eight inches in the backseat, I can always move the seat back. So, when I called, the guy picked up the phone, he’s standing in front of these trucks.

“I was like, ‘What is that?’ He was like, ‘Oh it’s the Cyberbeast, little bit bigger than the Cybertruck.’ And I was like, ‘Hey, how much?’ And he gave me the deal of a lifetime,” O’Neal added. “So I said, ‘You know what? If you could bring it to Vegas, I’ll do it.’  And he brought it to Vegas.”

Well, James’ loss was O’Neal’s gain. That incident between LeBron and Effortless Motors which the big man was referring too, took place back in June when he blasted the company on an Instagram story for claiming he bought a Bugatti from them.

“Stop the (cap)!! LIARS!! I don’t know y’all and I don’t even have that car. CLOUT CHASERS.”

It appears that was a classic case of an intern messing up. While some might have been put off from dealing with Effortless Motors after an incident like this, O’Neal wasn’t. They certainly proved he was right to trust them too.
