Tesla Inc. started summoning non-employee Model 3 reservation holders to configure their cars, a sign of progress for the sedan plagued by production problems.

A Tesla spokesman said in a text message Tuesday that the company began sending invitations to depositors outside the company’s employee base to design the Model 3.
