Former NBA star turned sports analyst Shaquille O’Neal has revealed he has sold off two of his Tesla Cybertrucks for not getting the desired mileage. He had even gotten a customized one among them. He has now replaced it with a Cadillac Escalade IQ , which he said gives him much better output with the same amount of energy than the Cybertruck. The NBA player is very fond of cars and referred to them as “girlfriends” while talking about them.

Shaquille O’Neal has fallen out of love with the Tesla Cybertruck Shaquille O’Neal was on The Big Podcast where a comedian sarcastically praised him for always getting cars customized from every car shop in America. Not only this, he also mentioned how the generous Shaq once gifted a van to a family with many kids.

Talking about why he got rid of his Cybertrucks, Shaq said, “I was into Cybertrucks but they don’t give enough charge mileage. Then I just got one of those IQs system Escalades. Today I was in Vegas, I ain’t have to charge up for four days. My Cybertruck here, if I go downtown to work tonight and come back, I’m gonna be struggling to get back. Right now it says 267. If I go to Atlanta to the thing and come back, when I come back it ain’t going to be…”


The Cadillac Escalade IQ has a much better mileage on a single charge than the Tesla Cybertruck. While the Cybertruck can give around 510 km per charge, the Cadillac Escalade can give 745 km per charge, reportedly.

When another guest mentioned how Shaq always brings the most expensive cars to work when he goes to the set of Inside The NBA, Shaq joked, “I treat them like girlfriends, my police car girlfriend I haven’t seen in a while so I will probably take her on a date tonight. But I am leaving tomorrow for another week so I will probably take my favorite girlfriend out tonight.”
