Phase transitions in Potts models are studied using motivic invariants of the zero sets of multivariable Tutte polynomials arising from a nested family of finite graphs. The topological complexity is estimated via the computation of the compactly supported Euler characteristics. The main tool is a deletion-contraction formula for the corresponding Grothendieck classes of algebraic varieties.
