Bluetooth call mic quality - recordings attached

Any update to this issue? Had our Model 3 for a couple months and bluetooth quality is pretty awful. I've heard the apple watch airplane mode suggestion but we're on a Samsung Note 8 and S8. I have a Samsung watch but wife does not...in other words that's not the problem. Both phones have poor quality if they connect at all. Frequently the audio streams split speaker to the car and mic to the phone or won't move the call to the car at all. We have to toggle bluetooth on and off to get a connection and quality is lacking.

No problems in any of our other vehicles with the same phones. This has nothing to do with the personal device (iPhone, Samsung, Pixel)...it's clearly on Tesla. I just hope there's a way to fix this over the air, but given it's still an issue on 2018.42.3, I'm guessing either not high on the list or simply a hardware problem.

Don't these engineers eat their own dog food? I assume several drive Teslas and occasionally join Webex with each other while driving into the office like most working adults? Maybe a call to their wife on the way home? I bet some have an iwatch, some using Samsung. Surely they know this is a widespread problem.
I've been having this issue with my bluetooth phone calls as well. Did anyone ever find a solution other than blaming an iwatch / other blue tooth device? Sorry to re-activate an old thread...
 
I have a Model X and a Samsung S7 Edge. My brother has a Model 3 (don't know phone). Both of us have superb bluetooth on our Tesla's unless there is a lot of wind noise from the windows being down.

This is the kind of stuff that must drive the engineers at Tesla nuts: works great for some, terrible for others. Probably an endless number of possible reasons for that. I don't envy them.
