Just some nerd stuff for anyone interested. The LTE Modem in the Model 3 is the Telit LE940B6-NA. It's a Cat 6 (300 Mbit theoretical) LTE device capable of 2-way carrier aggregation, and from the looks of the manual, 2x2 MIMO.
It supports the below frequency bands which covers everything currently in use except band 30 (2300) and band 14 (generally reserved for First net), which is not a bad compromise.
Press release on device certification:

User manual for the modem:

These are great specs for what the car needs (downloading maps, streaming audio, phoning home for app integration, etc). Thanks to @scaots and @Spiffywerks we know the LTE antennas for MIMO are located in each side mirror.
