I have it from a good source that an easy to install LTE adapter upgrade is in the works.
They do? They still haven't shut down EDGE in the vast majority of the market. Only about 50% of the phones in use can use LTE data and about 30% of the phones can use LTE voice. The shutdown of 3G is at least a decade away if not longer.Certainly an upgrade to LTE will be needed in the years to come as the carriers very much want to shut down 3G.

Here is a post lifted from the Tesla forums. Sounds like it is a future hardware enhancement.
"aaron | MARCH 19, 2015Here is an email I just got from my service center when I asked them about LTE service
According to engineering all we are doing at this stage is doing testing into the use of LTE.
No release dates have been announced, and we have no info on retrofits.
However, it is clear that all vehicles in current production and earlier are not fit with hardware capable of supporting LTE.
So if they decide to make it available to previous vehicles, there would have to be some sort of updated hardware installed.
It is too early to know what is going to happen moving forward so I would advise to stay tuned to all things Tesla in the news and check back with us periodically."
At some point it's going to cost Tesla more to buy the older 3G chipsets than new ones with integrated LTE. That's also probably why they switched to a higher pixel density for the speedo, because the panels were upgraded by the vendor at the same cost and the previous panels were being phased out. Same could happen with the cellular chipsets.
I would just be happy if they support HTML5 and let me listen to YouTube videos. Who needs Slacker when you can pick out the song you want on your own with YouTube.
I don't understand... with voice requesting of individual songs, doesn't Slacker already provide this functionality in a better way?

Nevermind that... How is going to a video site to find a song easier than finding it in an app dedicated to music or pulling from USB or phone? Oddest request for HTML5 I've seen so far.
It looks like I have LTE enabledMy icon indicates LTE vs. 3G. Will send pics later. Does anyone else see LTE yet? Map tiles seem pretty fast for me but I just picked up my car today so no real experience to guide me.
Just checked my April build 85D, still showing 3G :'(
