Gen 1 R1T LE

Not sure what your goal is, but even with 10% battery degradation, a Gen 1 R1T should still meet or exceed the R2 in real-world highway range.

I continue to believe that a properly priced Gen 1 R1 represents one of the best overall values out there: under $60k, under 60,000 miles, a much larger battery, excellent capability, and highway range that can still rival or beat the R2 despite its lower efficiency.

For reference, I still daily-drive a 2016 Model S, and I have little doubt the Gen 1 R1s will still be around at least that long; and likely much longer.
