2018 Outback owner here. A truly outdoorsy driver will always carry booster (a.k.a. jumper) cables and/or a boosting-charging pack if the vehicle doesn't have a manual transmission and no other vehicles are likely to be around. I would never go even slightly off road in my Outback without a boosting-charging pack amongst my other gear. A manual transmission has allowed me to bump-start dead vehicles many times over the years, but not this automatic model. Anyways, Subaru needs to get this all cleared up.
