That Dropped Call with Customer Service? It Was on Purpose

Tldr: car steering and breaking didn't work, it was a repeatable problem, none of the mechanics could repeat it. After 108 days Ford re-bought the car and issued a refund to the owner.
Read the books nudge, and sludge.

Actually, don't read the books. The concept is pretty much made up. Here is an entertaining podcast about that:

No, it doesn't work - that is exactly the problem. If you don't want to listen to the podcast (which would be a shame), they list a number of studies in the show notes.
There are a few select cases for which personal nudges work, but only to a miniscule degree which is far less than the radical degree the authors claimed. And naturally, proposing nudge theory hinders actual, much more effe2, systematic changes that would really benefit the people - and that is a major problem.

Where do I find the show notes? This is all i see at the link you provided
I'd really like to see and engage with the thesis here, but it's not presented in a accessible way. Could you give the argument please?

The papers are listed at the bottom of the screenshot you posted, I agree it's badly formatted so not immediately obvious / visible.
However, I can provide sources later on, I actually still have to get back to another post to provide some papers, but it'll be a while until I have the time to do that.

ok, guess its these three papers

Our results show that choice architecture interventions overall promote behavior change with a small to medium effect size of Cohen’s d = 0.43 (95% CI [0.38, 0.48])
So the meta-analysis says nudging works, but not to some massive degree.

Given that you quoted from the last paper, there was a response from Maier et al. to that paper explicitly, correcting for publication bias and finding no effect when "nudging":

Maier's letter to the editor is not peer reviewed; it counts as opinion, the original authors have not retracted their paper - so the matter is at best "divided"
