You have glue on Lotus chassis for example so glue can be structural in automotive. AFAIK it's just unrepairable. Feel free to correct me..
Edit: For non car peeps, Lotus build essentially track day cars with a light chassis and as many parts from popular manufacturers as possible to keep maintenance cheap. They see a lot of abuse.
- chneu 2y agoLotus doesn't make cars to last. They make them for the track and it's assumed the owners will be doing more than normal maintenance.
- Lanolderen 2y agoEh.. Kinda? There are plenty of running 25 y/o elises with over 100k km on them. Definitely with more maintenance than normal but it'd be mostly consumables and those 100k km won't be gentle. I doubt under the same conditions even a Toyota or Honda would wear better (and they don't have to).
- dagw 2y agoLotus build essentially track day cars They used to at least. These days they seem to mostly be focusing on electric SUVs and GT cars.
- Suppafly 2y agoEvery car on the road today has tons of stuff held together with glue, most people commenting here don't realize that though.
