anyone else have a problem where they drive thru a spot with limited service (unavoidable where I live) and the LTE drops but won't come back after that? I live in a canyon in southern California and service is spotty here, but usually enough to stay connected...however occasionally it will drop the LTE connection and not pick it back up. I just had this happen and even a reboot didn't bring it back... extremely annoying given the only other music alternative is regular FM radio.

This happened quite a bit last week. This week not at all. Same area. I figured it's a software bug as my area should have zero LTE dropouts. (Fort Myers, FL)
I'm about due for 42.4 so maybe that will improve it.
I have 42.4 and I have the same issue. Just drove from Bay Area to Las Vegas and had no car signal for about 2/3rds of the drive. Really annoying.
I'm confused, you say it drops and never comes back?
Or do you mean that it takes a long time to come back?
mine drops and never comes back untill i do the 2 button reset. then LTE returns after about 1 minute

Yes. I park underground and it happens almost daily. If the underground spot doesn't have a connection, when I exit to drive home it will often not have LTE at all for the entire drive (20-30 minutes). I've resorted to setting up a WiFi hotspot on my phone as a backup (although a big oopsies last Friday when it downloaded the 600 MB firmware update).
That said, I'm now running 2018.44.1 and I haven't observed the problem yet (LTE seems better) <knock on wood>. I'll watch this thread and mention if it happens again.
Seems to me like sloppy radio stack programming. The retry is way too low when you're driving. I can understand not wanting to drain battery when parked, but if there is a connectivity issue it should retry with some reasonable periodicity while moving.
the last time this happened even a reboot didn't bring it back. it didn't come back until after I parked the car for a while and came back to it.

Happened to me while I was heading back from Westwood to San Gabriel valley, it was out for a good 40mins during freeway traffic.

On my recent drive to LA via I-5, my LTE went out as I was climbing the Grapevine. Came back by itself around the summit. I'm still on 28.1. Maybe I'll hold out on asking for an update...
