SpaceX offered to launch a free payload for NASA and the Air Farce on Falcon Heavy, but both declined. The car was really a second payload choice. Being the purpose of the flight was to test the rocket itself successfully on its first launch, all mission objectives were met, except for loss of the Falcon core stage.
