Since I mentioned I got the info from ChatGPT, people can decide for themselves how much they trust it. Note that the question here is how many uniquely shaped tiles there was, not the total number. This is interesting because if you have to manufacture and keep in stock 17,000 separate tile shapes, that will be vastly more expensive than SpaceX who, from what I hear, only uses a singe hex shaped tile everywhere.
