I suspect that if/when LIDAR is cheap enough, Tesla will use it.
In the meantime they outfit every single car with the best hardware that is realistic from a cost standpoint today, instead of waiting til 2020.
And so far, it just sits there and does nothing useful, since the self-driving software that can do the job safely with those sensors doesn't exist.
