Model S appears to have approximately 5 Megabit downlink and 1 Megabit uplink, comparable with HSDPA speeds from an iPhone 3G.
I've never seen those numbers even when I have full bars. More like 1.5-2 Mbps down is the max for me.
As anticitizen stated it could be both. It could have a 4G chip but be limited to 3G speeds. I'm stepping over into speculation as I am not a Telco expert but my guess is that AT&T has spare capacity on their 3G systems and so has sold that to Tesla for cheap. Perhaps in the future when Tesla can handle the billing and/or gets big enough for AT&T to care they could offer different plans and potentially enable 4G.
So my guess is that Day 1 Model X won't be 4G.
My kids are quite small at the moment but at some point I will welcome the in-car hotspot idea where the kids can surf on their WiFi tablets using the car's cellular uplink. At that point I will want more bandwidth.I agree it is currently too slow but how fast a connection do people want when they use their phones for most things? For getting Nav 3G isn't horrible but surfing web is too slow.

Now that you mention it...
When driving alone, my primary need for wifi hotspot could be mostly satisfied if supercharger locations were wifi hotspots. Hm, I should probably e-mail about that.
Does anyone know if the Model X will have 4G connectivity?
I believe they will, because GM will offer 4G LTE in all cars starting in 2015. Tesla would be crazy not to keep up with the times.
