On a recent episode of The Big Podcast, his own show, Shaq finally shared the real reason why he gave up his Teslas. 

He said it’s all about how far the Cybertrucks can go on one charge. 

For someone who drives a lot and doesn’t like waiting, that was a major issue. He literally said, “I was into Cybertrucks, but they don’t give enough charge mileage.”

So basically, he’s saying if he drives to the city and comes back, the battery’s almost dead. So he’d have to keep stopping to charge, which is super annoying if he’s in a hurry.

And it’s not just about finding a charger, sometimes he has to wait for one to be available, then waste like 20 more minutes just charging.

Shaq decided to go with a different electric car, the Cadillac Escalade IQ, which is also a luxury electric SUV. He said that while he was in Las Vegas, he didn’t need to charge the Escalade IQ for four whole days, that’s a big deal.

Shaq is associated with either the sheriff's office or police department in my hometown and I think another town as well.
