Tesla had a job posting for an LTE engineer last year. I would expect the model X to come with LTE. Shortly after the X ships I suspect new model S cars will ship with LTE. There will not be an upgrade option for 3G equipped model S cars for some time. There just isn't a pressing reason for Tesla to invest in this right now.

All IMHO and best guess.

Wouldn't it be a simple card swap? Use the same card as they've designed for the new cars, and no extra investment is involved.

I'm guessing that they haven't done it because it could potentially cost them more money in data charges.
