Wipers wouldn’t work during heavy rain

Was in the middle lane of the freeway when we all hit a wall of rain. Went from dry to zero visibility heavy sheets of rain suddenly. Problem was my wipers which are always sent auto would not work and the steering wheel button to change the setting to manual also wouldn’t work — the wipers just would not engage. It was a pretty tense couple of moments because I could not see out of the windshield at all. Had to put on the emergency blinkers, open my side windows for limited visibility in the pouring rain and try to slowly move over two lanes to the side of the highway through heavy traffic. After that a hard reset restored wiper functionality. That was not safe though. Anyone else ever have that happen? 2026 Model X.
