How do I fix "Hey Siri" in the car hanging on first use?

Does anyone else have the problem while driving where "Hey Siri" doesn't work the first time? Or the opposite where "Hey Siri" always works perfectly?

Each drive my first "Hey Siri" causes the multi-colored Siri sphere to appear on the iPhone lockscreen but then the sphere hangs for about 10 seconds and ignores whatever I say afterwards. The sphere then disappears. All subsequent "Hey Siri's" work ok.

In iPhone Bluetooth settings I have 'Tesla Model Y' set to device type 'Other' not 'Car Stereo'. I'm running the latest iOS 16.3 and Tesla 2022.44.30. I use "Hey Siri" to create reminders for myself and handle other things the built-in Tesla voice interface doesn't do.
