Shaquille O’Neal‘s favorite automotive dealers are reaching new heights. When it comes to cars, anything bold and innovative is right up Big Aristotle’s alley. From fancy designs to outrageous customizations, Shaq’s favorite pastime seems to be experimenting with wild ideas for his latest ride from Effortless Motors. The dealership recently introduced a new shift after socialite Kim Kardashian flaunted her latest purchase on her Instagram Story.

First revealed to the public in 2021, the humanoid robot Optimus caused quite a stir. Standing just seven inches tall, this toy-sized robot quickly sold out within 24 hours, with Kardashian herself among the buyers. Unlike a life-sized version, this miniature robot, costing somewhere between $20,000 and $30,000, has proven fascinating enough. The SKIMS founder also shared a clip of her exploring her new bot.

In the video, Kardashian asked the robot to complete a heart shape, gesturing half of it with her hand. The bot was successful in it. She then engaged in a game of rock-paper-scissors with the robot and beat him at it. Games such as this are perhaps not its strong suit. Often compared to cars, these robots reflect the company’s evolution from making “robots on wheels” to those on two legs. The robot in a sleek body suit also features two functional hands. Like your personal assistant, it can carry up to 45 pounds of weight for you. It can also walk 5 miles per hour. The best part? It comes powered with an AI chip to assist people with various tasks. A dream bot!

It’s no surprise Effortless Motors, too, is on a roll distributing these robots. Sharing Kardashian’s clip of her cool new friend, Effortless Motors encouraged followers to reach out to them to get their own robot. “HIT US UP TO GET Your ROBOT WRAPPED” the IG story is captioned. While all this is fun and games, how do you think their favorite customer is gelling up with the new bot in town?

Well, he doesn’t seem to be bothered as much for now. The Los Angeles Lakers legend is engrossed in his mission to get a new and unique Lamborghini car crafted. 

Shaquille O’Neal has an odd challenge for fans 

Shaq commissioned Effortless Motors to bring him a two-door Lamborghini truck, a departure from the usual four-door design. Furthermore, he has also requested an entirely refreshing design for the car, challenging his fans to suggest custom colors while revealing his favorite shades: burgundy and black. There’s also a good reward for the winners; whoever wins the challenge will get to keep the car for an entire week. Shareef O’Neal also shared the announcement on his IG story. This new commission is likely O’Neal’s sixth car from the brand. 

Previously, O’Neal had purchased a one-of-a-kind custom Sprinter van. The company man who delivered his vehicle was riding a Mercedes S550 that caught O’Neal’s attention. He didn’t hesitate and bought it on the spot. He also owns two Cybertrucks, followed by yet another Cybertruck gifted to him by Tesla itself. So, it’s only natural to wonder if Tesla’s new robot could soon make it to his wish list?

Given his love for automobiles, Shaquille O’Neal shares a strong connection with the brand, having bought, gifted, and sold several cars over the last few months. Though their relationship may have started owing to an incident with LeBron James, once the company linked up with the Big Aristotle, it hasn’t stopped progressing.
