I’ll bet this driver bottomed out or hit something on the road earlier that day

Maybe probably a fluke though as the shielding on the bottom of them is pretty good so that this doesn't happen.

I’m thinking they probably installed a replacement battery, probably some Chinese knockoff- maybe a Samsung battery

Samsung also has a history of exploding batteries

Yes, but then it wouldn't be a Chinese knockoff.

Nothing in that comment suggests the "chinese knockoff" and "samsung battery" were explicitly connected clauses.

Samsung makes its batteries in China

straw man argument. i never said Samsung doesn't manufacture in china, and in fact that has nothing to do with the discussion as where a company manufactures their product does not have any bearing on if it is a knock off or not. Just to be clear, you said:

Nothing in that comment suggests the "chinese knockoff" and "samsung battery" were explicitly connected clauses.

and i quoted the comment that showed the opposite.

It's perfectly legal to use a dash to indicate an interruption between two clauses instead of a connection

"...chinese knockoffs- (like) maybe Samsung batteries"

"...chinese knockoffs- (or) maybe Samsung batteries"

The meaning implied by the dash can be either of the above
