Can it act as an access point for people in the car?

Rephrasing...

No. It was included as an advertised feature before cars were delivered but has since been removed.

Original phrasing...

Some of us still hope so.

I suspect that won't happen until Tesla figures out how to charge us for 3G access after the free period ends.

Yes, but originally it was a year for the Signature Series cars and 6 months for everyone else. They later came up with the 4 year free and grandfathered older owners into the 4 year plan effective (I believe) from the date of the announcement.

The grandfather date is January 1, 2014 for anyone that had a car before that.
