Firstly, the tyres look like standard air filled ones. The difference in air pressure in the tyres compared to the surrounding vaccum will cause it to explode. For lunar rovers, tyres with no air inside is what works. Secondly, the steering wheel, ankles, suspension, joints, etc. are completely exposed, which would either boil off or freeze standard lubricants, which rely on atmospheric pressure to stay on. Third, the fabric roof, and the rubber tyres and the seat cover would either melt or break like glass during lunar day or night, which are the points of extreme temperatures on the moon.
