- Shaq had West Coast Customs build a one-off Lucid Air coupe.
- Now the bespoke Lucid has surfaced crashed on a salvage lot.
- Its rear half escaped clean, which should ease repair costs.
Back in late 2024, basketball legend Shaquille O’Neal commissioned West Coast Customs to build him a one-off Lucid Air Coupe roomy enough for his 7’1″ frame. Eighteen months on, Shaq’s bespoke EV has landed in a salvage lot after a crash. If you back your own skills with a wrench, you could buy it, fix it up, and own a unique Lucid.
Just how far the modifications go isn’t fully clear, and nobody’s confirmed whether the wheelbase was stretched. According to Road & Track, West Coast Customs pushed the front seats back for extra legroom. The second-row seats survived the redesign, so the Air still seats five, or maybe four with Shaq at the wheel.

Visually, the car also looks a little different, most notably thanks to the fact that it’s a two-door and sits on a set of aftermarket, tightly-spoked black wheels. Sadly, Shaq’s ride is now in desperate need of some repairs.
There’s no word on how the unique Lucid was crashed or whether Shaq was behind the wheel at the time, but with some TLC, the EV might be able to return to the roads. The front bumper has been removed, and one of the radiators is busted and will need to be replaced.

In addition, the headlights are missing, and the hood has been damaged, so it will need to be replaced as well. If there’s a shred of good news, it’s that the rear half of the EV appears unscathed, which should help to minimize repair costs.
As for what specific Lucid Air variant the car is based on, well, that isn’t known. What the Copart listing does confirm is that it’s an all-wheel-drive model. It’s also been driven just 2,898 miles (4,663 km), so it’d be a shame if someone didn’t try to repair it.
