SpaceX Sets ISS Docking Record as Tesla Expands Home Backup to Mass-Market Cars
SpaceX achieved the fastest U.S. launch-to-docking time for the International Space Station with Crew-13, while Tesla enabled bidirectional power sharing for Model 3 and Model Y owners. The SpaceX record took 7 hours and 55 minutes, beating previous benchmarks. Tesla’s new feature allows these vehicles to act as backup batteries for homes equipped with Powerwall 3, extending outage resilience by over two days. Both developments highlight significant operational milestones for the companies in late 2026.
