There is a solar eclipse in April 2024 and I'm thinking to go to Texas. Mainly because there are tons of arcades out there and there is a new Dave and Busters I want to visit. And Dallas will be the area with the longest totality or at least not a long drive to a place with the longest totality.
I am an advantage player so if I'm traveling I'd like to take advantage of being in a different state because some arcades that are outside my area of CA can have insane jackpots. Like 1000-2000 ticket jackpots where you could win a $300 Nintendo Switch for $20-$40. It probably not be worth it and its a huge risk if you tried justifying traveling expenses just to win $20 Nintendo Switches. But as long as I'm doing something else it's not like I'm flying out to an arcade just to win $280 retail profit because flights and hotels will likely exceed those winnings. Also at the same time, I don't want to spend my resources just to travel for a solar eclipse and do nothing else. I don't know what else there can be do in Dallas Texas, it just seems like a city where CA people just want a big house for cheap.
But do big events like an eclipse affect supercharging? I could imagine last minute like the day of or a few hours that people are scrambling to a supercharger and there is a huge line and they are all going to miss the solar eclipse from the spot they wanted to view from. Or be forced to watch the solar eclipse from a less idea location like at the supercharger or on the side of the road. How should one prepare to supercharge or get a full charge before the day of the eclipse? Like maybe get your full charge the day before the eclipse, then do little driving as possible so maybe you got 90% set up for the next day (if charging overnight isn't an option). Then you can drive out to wherever destination you want to view the eclipse?
