The alerts will show you both current alerts (fault or warning condition is still met) as well as the last 100 alerts, and the time/date they occurred. It's easy and quick to get into service mode, so if you have any unusual condition occurring, always go in and take a picture of the alerts!
I'm happy to explain any of them from Tesla-speak to plain English. Yes, the fuse on the bottom is a good way to determine which generation you have. Tesla doesn't make changes on the model-year boundary, so determination by date-of-manufacture is only a rough estimate.
