The decision follows a 90% plunge in operating profits, with significant losses attributed to tariffs and EV-related write-downs. The new EV factory will now focus on gas and hybrid models instead of electric vehicles, marking a retreat from previous commitments to develop up to four EVs by 2028.

The introduction of Subaru's new AI 'EyeSight' system has sparked concerns over vehicle surveillance, as it monitors driver behavior and can take control of the car. This technology, mandated by federal regulations starting in 2027, raises fears of a dystopian future where personal autonomy is compromised. Critics argue that such systems could lead to excessive government control over personal movement, with privacy advocates warning about potential data misuse.

Subaru has postponed its first in-house electric vehicles (EVs) to beyond 2028, focusing instead on hybrids and combustion models due to declining U.S. demand and tariffs. The company will continue to utilize Toyota platforms for current EVs like the Solterra and Trailseeker, avoiding high development costs. A $1.42 billion tariff impact and $362 million in EV-related write-downs have led to a 90% drop in profits, necessitating a strategic slowdown in EV development.
