Uber is a cashless experience. Tip is not customary for UberX/Black/SUV/LUX/RUSH/EATS/anything except UberTAXI. For UberTAXI, Uber will add 20% of your meter in a separate line item to your fare. That's the tip.

The whole point is that everything is cashless. Uber is also clear about this on their site:

DO I NEED TO TIP MY DRIVER?

You don’t need cash when you ride with Uber. Once you arrive at your destination, your fare is automatically charged to your credit card on file — there’s no need to tip.
