There was a story in the last few days that SpaceX is now focused on getting the BFR launched and has dropped any further use of the Falcon Heavy, they can accommodate booked payloads on the Falcon 9.. SpaceX has sold a BFR launch to the Japanese billionaire for his lunar joyride, this helps with the BFR development. I believe the BFR is almost ready now. It is being built near LA and will be shipped to the launch site by barge.
BFR is the multi-purpose platform, being able to be configured as everything from a refueling tanker to a Mars vehicle. By having just one configurable vehicle they can fulfill many roles at minimal conversion cost.
