The same lunar-concept rovers can operate at the moon, the bottom of the oceans, and dry land.

Above this text is an interesting lunar-rover concept. A modified Tesla cyber truck that could operate in a vacuum. The electric car can operate always in a vacuum and the thing is that the modification is needed only when the vehicle must be pressurized. There are three ways to make the rover that can operate on the moon.
The first version just uses the standard but armored vehicle, and in that case, the astronauts must wear full lunar suits which protects them against cosmic radiation and micrometeorites. The second version is to connect the radiation protection to that vehicle. This thing means that astronauts can use lighter suits. But in the case of an accident, this can be risky business.
And in the "luxury model," the moon rover has a pressurized cabin where the astronauts can take off their lunar suits. The lunar rover can be locally or remote-controlled. The remote control system can be on the Earth or it can be on the moon. And the same rovers can operate independently or manned.

That means in the case of an accident. The base can send the automatic rover for picking the astronauts. The lunar rover can have a button where the astronauts can select between the "autopilot" and "manual cruise".
The interesting thing is that the same vehicle can use on the moon or deep inside the oceans. The second image portraits Japan's or sharper saying Toyota corporations conceptual moon rover that is large enough also for deep ocean operations. The large-size system can equip with a small nuclear reactor and the crew has more room in that place.
There is also possible to install the RTG-based electric engine system in all axles and that thing can also give a very good capacity and power to the large-size systems. The nuclear-based system would give the lunar rover an extreme capacity.
Without depending on if the system operates at the bottom of the ocean. Or on the surface of the moon. And that kind of amphibious system can benefit both civil and military missions. The "car" can drive the bottom of the ocean or it can also travel on the roads and drylands.
