This is the typical symptom of a bum fuel pump. You get a non start when the pump lands on a dead commutator bar.
Random wiggles cause it to move just enough to get to a good spot and it will fire up. I teach the method of starting of turning the key to the “on” position and wait for the fuel pump hum to stop before cranking. It takes less than six seconds. If you don’t hear the hum, pump isn’t working. Listen close, Turn the fan down to lowest spot to learn what to listen for. You can also test the fuel pressure at the fuel rail under the plastic noise shield under the hood.

People will often get a few more drivers out of a dead pump by tapping on the fuel tank to vibrate the pump into a better spot. You probably just shook the car as pumping the gas pedal week do nothing on a fly by wire throttle I would bet.

I would check fuel pressure.
Had a very similar issue with mine. Next drive out (my son took it) it left him stranded on the side of the freeway. You can check for pending codes but I don't think it would show anything yet. Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk
