Temperature can be a problem, as it can get very cold in the shade and hot in the sunlight.
But pressure is not a problem. There is no atmosphere on the moon so external pressure is nil. Most of the components of a moon buggy do not contain any trapped gases so it doesn't matter what the pressure is. They use electrical motors for propulsion which do not depend on atmospheric pressure. The tyres of the buggy are pumped up with air, but any tyre is capable of withstanding internal pressures of a few atmospheres greater than the external pressure, so the moon is no different.

The moon is great sufficient to have significant gravitational charm. it fairly is gravity is around one 6th as solid as earth's gravity (the two measured on the exterior), even nonetheless it fairly is actual there. something the size of the worldwide area station would not have sufficient mass (and hence gravity) to entice an astronaut or a buggy, so if so those issues might decide for the flow away.

first off, there's not much pressure on the moon and there's none in outter space unless you're inside a black hole in which case you would be dead.
and they built it using materials that can withstand the extreme (usually cold) temperatures of outter space

Try the link below.
Its designed to function in the extreme cold. And BTW... its a vacuum in space... not pressure!
