I've had my 6+ for 2 months now and during assembly I noticed the rear rotor was pretty scuffed up which ruined my plans to bed them correctly. Anyway, the rear was a bit more spongy than the front.  A couple of weeks ago the lever went up to the bar and had to pump it to build pressure.  Thought maybe one of my many falls let air into the system. Ordered a bleed kit and some shoes. Then.... before I got to it, they came back to normal.

Dunno what's going on there.

Kudos!
I went thru this on my rover 6p.
I ordered the bike as a radtirement gift to myself. During my first ride it broke down and then sat in my den
for weeks while I replaced the controller, wiring harness and ultimately the culprit...UI controller.   Yes. The Rad team was top notch in helping me get it resolved for what seemed forever.

No green dot or any difference on my new controller. I actually got them mixed up and freaked. The wire housing on the original one had ziptie indentations, save.

My 2022 RR6p. 4 mo, 459mi, 5 crashes (most recent just now).
Stored "Wesr Bikes" Ulock to the rack which offsets the pannier nicely in the appropriate color scheme. This lock works perfectly as a cafe style lock and it's rubberized.
8" Bar extender with a Hirreyis 1800 lumen light bar giving a flat bar look.
2 Corky Urban bar end mirrors (Not shown (very well)).
And some 4mm cable wrap. This stuff is awesome. I even wrapped  the silver fender braces with it. So now...they blend.
Planning on swapping out that ugly, buzzing 7 speed shifter with an under the bar quick shifter.
The UI controller looks like an old CRT television mounted on the bars. If anybody knows of low profile unit or modification, please chime in.

new Rover 6Plus. One thing I noticed immediately is the PAS Display (nearest to the left handle) on the Rover is the same brightness as the center display
When I assembled my rr6p in June this year, I peeled off the clear protective coverings on the displays and later found that the controller UI brightness was way to bright, especially at nite.  As things go, I needed a replacement UI and this time, left the protective film in place as to have equal "not so bright"  displays.

I was never a sticker guy.  But now at 61, It seems to be thing.

At 150ish lbs, I started at 30lbs, tried 15 and I'm satisfied with 24 front 25 rear. That's with mostly trail riding.

I absolutely go by the battery. 
I got home just the other night and the controller remote display read three bars. When I plugged the battery into the charger, shockingly,
only one bar displayed on the battery.

I get an occasional buzz from the 7speed shifter. A quick flick with my finger and it's gone.

Received my New RR6P in June 22.  The front tire was low out of the box. Pumped it up and rode.  Flat again the next day and so on.
(This pump is rad...  https://amzn.to/3bc6VVr ).
Changed the tube today and ran my hand along the inner side of the GMD  tire and found 2 small, long, very sharp protruding things. Cords I'm thinking.  20 trail miles today so far so good.

Same thing happened to me.
The taillight wire was shredded by the fat tire. Rad sent a replacement controller and I purchased the wire thru Amazon. 
The issue now is the bike won't completely shut off. I have to disconnect the display wires.
When I reconnect them, the bike poweres straight up.
