Despite choosing a rented house, Elon Musk is reportedly buying a new private jet. Quoted from Fortune, Friday (8/7/2022) Elon is said to be the newest consumer of the Gulfstream G700 private jet, which is estimated to cost a minimum of US$ 78 million or around Rp 1.16 trillion.
According to a report from Austonia, a news site dedicated to the Texas capital where Tesla is headquartered, the plane is slated for delivery early next year. However, this timing could slip due to delays in the final certification for the new jet type by the US Federal Aviation Administration.
“Sweet new ride will replace his current top-of-line private jet: the 2015 Gulfstream G650, an aircraft that has been made somewhat famous by the Twitter account @elonjet, which tracks and reports on the movements of its private aircraft using public data,” wrote Austonia. .
The G700 is Gulfstream’s newest flagship jet, with a cabin length of nearly 57 feet (17.3 meters) and a non-stop flight of 7,500 nautical miles (nmi) or approximately 13,334 kilometers. Approximately enough flights from London to Singapore for one flight. Although this can’t match the 7,700 nmi that the Bombardier Global 7500 can achieve.
The Gulfstream G700 is a sultan-class private jet. The luxury of the cabin pampers passengers, it can carry up to 13 passengers. Divided into 4 areas starting from the lounge, bedroom, meeting room, dining room and two lavatory or WC which are also available with showers. All of these areas can be connected to the Jet ConneX Ka-band WiFi.

The Gulfstream G700 is loaded with two new Rolls-Royce Pearl 700 jet engines capable of reaching a cruising speed of mach 0.90! That gives the G700 the ability to fly nonstop from New York to Tokyo in about 12 hours.
Previously, Elon Musk had a Gulfstream G650ER private jet. With the jet, he has flown more than 150,000 miles in 2018 alone, according to flight records obtained by The Washington Post.
Musk reportedly spent $700,000 on his private jet in 2018 alone. He flies around the US, Europe and Asia.
