How to interrupt and abort Tesla reading a long text message?

Software - General

I love that I can have my Tesla Model 3 read text messages to me, but sometimes they're lengthy and I don't want it to keep reading. Sometimes the messages contain markup and Tesla even reads that and it goes on forever.

I've tried pressing the wheel button, telling it to stop, etc., but I've not found anything that works.

Swipe down on the little window showing the text?

But Tesla reading my texts from my group "Old School Officer F**kers" is the highlight of my day!

On my MS, I've found that I need to let it start reading the text before pressing the dismiss button. Otherwise, if I dismiss it before it starts reading, then there's no stopping out.

I love my car, but the voice/text interation is hot garbage. ESPECIALLY OUTGOING.

I've not had problems with the message part of outgoing messages, but it can't recognize my spouse's name at all.
