Not even close to the best. I have a friend with part of one (Netjets
share) . With the two pilots and two average size passengers and a
Labrador
it can't go from San Diego to Sun Valley without refueling in a modest
headwind if its warm.

Wrong.

It is a fact.


The problem is that at FL350 it will only go about
350kts and even a modest headwind at that altitude is well over
100kts.

At FL350, it does 371 to 385, depending on weight.
