Falcon Heavy ViaSat-2 launch 2016

Their Ariane 5 launch isn't until next year either. Must be something else behind it.

Since they are still taking the Viasat-3 up then my instincts say it has more to do with timing than it does to do with loss of confidence. With SpaceX's track record of delayed launches then it is safest for them to spend extra and go with a launch window that is more sure and fits their timetable better.
