It wouldn't.  You could do it in six months or so. If you were to keep the volume of manufacturing as a constant, then you can simply minimally disassemble the existing  assembly line say in Japan and repurpose it for assembly in the US by shipping it. SUBARU already has a assembly line in Indiana. Scaling it up is not a big deal. That would take even less. 

Even before that, you can contract the manufacturing to a US assembly line in the interim.

babu neeku asalu oka plant establish or expand or modify after acquiring ki enta time and resources spend cheyalo telsa. Edo industry lo work chestunattu ededo cheptunnav. Subaru is a very small manufacturer compared to Toyota and they don’t have resources to do all that. Only four models are made in Indiana, out of these three share the same platform and the rest are made in Japan. Japanese brands will Never ever move their prestigious models out of Japan because of quality issues. This is going to get incredibly bad

Nuvvu cheppu poni, entha time and resources padathayo.  My own brother works as a mechanical design engineer in Alabama. His company manufactures frames and related parts for a lot of European and Japanese auto manufacturers. Their orders literally doubled from last year as they anticipated the Tatah's comeback and tariffs. Aa talk already undhi. 

Huh? Honda US lo CR-V,Pilot, Passport, Accord, Civic (+ type R), Ridgeline US assemble chesthandhi. Ivi Anni successful models ee.

Toyota also assembles Camry, Corolla, Tacoma, Tundra, RAV4 in the US. All these are successful models as well.

Nissan builds it's Titan entirely in the US. 

Subaru already has an assembly line in Indiana. They would have known this info atleast 6 months before. Valla prep lo vallu unde untaru.   Acquisitions, joint collaborations mamule Auto industry lo. Business case unte avthane untayi.

Subaru niche is manufacturing core components like transmission and engines in Japan

it currently assembles in US

assembling to manufacturing all components/(comp suppliers included) is a supply chain nightmare

one cannot simply sub contract transmission manufacturing on subaru to a US vendor, it needs quality/r&d integration to US vendor first

reg  expanding indiana plant, it cannot simply expand current plant, it has to acquire another old plants that was used for manufacturing, which means it has to burn its operational cash flow, what if DT changes policy aat a later time to something that makes this entire exercise stupid

uncertainity allways makes compnaies scale down not expand, even if it makes economic sense to move menufacturing, it would be risky due to uncertainity

add the cost increase of selling a subaru outback that is manufactured in US to be around 45K base vs 35K from highly autonomous well tested QC processes in Japan

wiht so much investment, in order to save costs it has to export from US to other countries as well. who is this world will buy Made in America going forward unless it is absolutely necessary like iPhone

What about raw material? It's not easy as bigger part has smaller parts coming from 10 different countries.

Not necessarily. Say if Ford has a near defunct plant or plant with low volumes, Subaru can "loan" their mfg. unit say in Dearborne, Michigan. Some customization and they can keep rolling volumes. They could even buy one readily if have enough cash. 

 American South is investment hungry. Take it to Alabama or Louisiana, it won't take long. Beaurocracy in US is nowhere close to countries like India. I don't think they will fcuk around much, when the investment is moving in line with their POTUS policy. 

 

what about the cost of operating those plants with union workers in US vs robots in Japan

See,  I will give you a perspective. Ford WWII B24 bombers manufacturing unit GROUND UP build cheyyadaniki about 18months teesukunnaru. What's the timeline we're talking early 1940's.

This is how a b24 (liberator) looks

We are talking of cars. What year we're in? 2025.

Whatever is automated is still automated in the US too. Aa jobs ravu. Tariffs dodge cheyyadani ki American made ayyi undali, necessary ga US union workers employ chesukovali ani ledhu. What's more robotic processes make things easier. You don't need just as much hiring and as much training.

What about it?  If it has to come from 10 countries, so shall be it. You will work on alternate vendors in parallel too if numbers make sense.

Neekosame idhi raasa. Ford Willow plant ni 18 months lo establish chesindhi in 2.5 million cubic feet. That's in early 1940's. It manufactured B24 (liberator) bombers there.
