Yes, this is exactly what they are doing (and other car makers too) in order to maximize the profit. This also explains the long time to for car repairs under the warranty - all OEM parts are prioritized for new vehicles manufacturing, again to sustain the cash flow. They do not use aftermarket parts for warranty repairs.The parts are probably being diverted to higher priced models to keep those lines moving, but Versa production for 2023 may be delayed in the meantime.
Dealers do not list a price because they want to take advantage of current inventory and sell above the stiker (so called "market adjustment").I’ve also noticed there is no build and price configurator yet and the few dealerships that list a 23 in their in transit inventory do not list a price on the website, so in my mind it is possible it isn’t technically on sale yet.
