Former NBA champion Shaquille O'Neal fulfills his wish for a Tesla Cyberbeast after a $3 million challenge following LeBron James lashing out at the car dealership for fake marketing antics.
Shaquille O’Neal finally made his Tesla Cybertruck purchase after admitting his fondness for the futuristic vehicle.
The dealership, Futuristic Motors, as well as Shaq himself went on to celebrate the latest purchase. However, the hefty shopping came at a time when the car dealership was already facing social media backlash for putting out a misleading marketing antic.

However, this decision came shortly after an entertaining episode where Shaquille O'Neal humorously attempted to trade cars with his podcast guest, YouTuber Funny Marco, highlighting his admiration for Tesla vehicles.
