The Tesla Cybertruck -- some people are big fans of the electric pickup while others strongly dislike it. Those who love the Tesla product have chosen to showcase this through a wide variety of customizations.
Shaquille O'Neal is a prominent example. The Basketball Hall of Fame member has two Cybertrucks in his collection of cars. The latest features customization work done by Effortless Motors.
Shaq's Cybertruck is a widebody, and it features a carbon fiber exterior. The Cybertruck sits on black 26-inch wheels. Custom red underbody lights only add to the look.
"I hate to say it -- I got the cleanest Cybertruck in the country," Shaq said after seeing his new vehicle in person.

The multi-time NBA champion-turned-analyst is far from the only person to customize the electric pickup. Many other people around the world have joined this list while making a variety of changes.
Some people have opted for simple wraps that make the Cybertruck stand out more in traffic. Others have added exterior accessories such as new light bars.
One person, YouTuber Brandon Herrera, turned one of the electric pickups into the Warthog from the "Halo" video game series. His custom vehicle even features a functional Browning M2 .50 caliber machine gun on the rear.

Recreating a vehicle from "Halo" is fitting considering the unique design of Elon Musk's creation. The electric pickup certainly bears similarity to the personnel carrier that debuted on the original Xbox, which multiple owners have shown with custom wraps.
However, "Halo" is not the only pop culture landmark being referenced by owners of the Cybertruck. One person completely wrapped the vehicle in a design featuring the Matrix digital rain. This computer code was featured in the "Matrix" film series starring Keanu Reeves.

The list of custom wraps is extensive. Some other examples include references to jewelry and cryptocurrency. Other vehicle owners have just opted for bright colors that are in stark contrast to the stock stainless steel exoskeleton.

The great @SteveDownes117 once said to me, “Say, that Cybertruck…kinda looks like a Warthog, doesn’t it?”
