There is no easy solution here. Admittedly I almost always use streaming audio on my Tesla rather than FM, but when I have used it, I didn't have any issues. You might have a defective radio tuner. Worth replacing to see if it fixes your issue. Anything else you do will be sub-par.
Here's a used tuner module from Ebay for $64: https://www.ebay.com/itm/256481738194 Though one simple thing comes to mind, but again, because it's inside the car without an external antenna, reception may be sub-par: https://amzn.to/3U5lUmq This is a small portable radio with a rechargeable battery that has one rare feature: It can transmit on Bluetooth. So you would pair the radio to the Tesla just like you would a phone, and then use its tuner to transmit the FM to the car. You'd also be able to power the radio from the car's USB port to keep it powered.
