Driving Focus Auto-Reply

I have an iPhone 14 running IOS 17.5.1.

Previously, I had a Subaru that my iPhone was paired to. Whenever I would drive and I had the Drive Focus on, my iPhone would send an auto-reply to any text messages that were sent to me.

That car is gone and I now have a Tesla Model Y. I have changed the Focus to recognize my Tesla, and while the Drive Focus does turn on automatically, it no longer sends auto-replies.

All of the proper settings are turned on, just as before, but it still won’t work.

Please help!!!
