A fair test? A real existing F150 production model vs a prototype that has close to zero chance of making it into production.

A real F150 production model, with (two - one actually) rear wheel drive. Wouldn't expect anything less from Musk.

Not worth it. When Ford went after Ferrari in the 60s they went after the number 1 performance car in the world, so beating them gave Ford a publicity advantage in the performance area where they were lagging behind GM. Responding to a stunt by Tesla will give Tesla's vaporware valuable publicity but will not give the F-150 which is the standard by which other trucks are measured anything in return.
There's a reason why Musk's other company is called "The Bull**** Company". His customers are already waiting for months for some spare parts. Doubt he'll be selling as many cars when tax payer subsidies are phased out.

Yes. The $7,500 federal tax credit starts to phase out when a company sells 200,000 eligible vehicles. Through Dec 2019 the credit for Tesla vehicles will be $1,875. Starting next year no Tesla vehicle will be eligible for tax credit. The only other car maker losing the tax credit is GM. They will still have $1,875 credit through 2020.
