Tesla always advertises the after rebate price. Nothing makes me think they would change that now. You are right that it is possible the rebate won't be available when this launches. I also doubt they can hit 2017 but we will see I guess.
If they could do come close to launch, actually hit that price with no rebate, and hit the 300 mile claim I would be very impressed (and in line to buy) but I think all of that is not adding up.
edit: according to a post above Tesla said they were not including the tax rebates. So that means you could get into a Model 3 for $27k. I really don't see how they can do that and 300mile range. That's a huge price cut from a model s. Makes me think it's not going to be up to the same quality/luxury feel that the model S has.
