At the race this weekend for some reason a similar topic came up. One of the guys had an event he was at near a Subaru plant. I guess some of the higher up management from said plant were at this event as well. It was noted that there were 100s, he may have said 1,000s, of cars stored nearby and he asked them about "What was the hold up getting them shipped out, chip shortage or such?" They said none, all those cars are ready to go, but the dealers are not ordering them to put on the lots, and that the dealers are doing that so inventory looks low and they can push buyers to pay markup on trims/models they may not have been looking to buy by making picking look thin and that waiting may mean they can't get anything if the few on the lot sell.
