Shaq, because of his height, had the only car like this built in the world.

Shaqille O'Neal, NBA legend who is 216 cm tall, had a custom electric car built by West Coast Customs to accommodate his height. The modified Lucid Air Coupe was designed with extended doors and repositioned front pillars to provide more space. After just under 5,000 kilometers of use, the vehicle was damaged in an accident and sold on Copart's auction site for an estimated $59,000. The unique modifications make repairs challenging, as many parts are not available in standard Lucid catalogs. The car's value is uncertain due to its association with Shaq and the difficulty of restoring it.

Bias read (Center): The article discusses a customized car modification and its subsequent damage, which is a non-political topic related to celebrity customization and automotive industry. There is no political framing or bias evident in the reporting.
