I think you have to define a new method.
(defvar my-scp-extra-args '("-i" "/Users/my_user/.ssh/my_key"))
(let* ((scp-method (assoc "scp" tramp-methods))
(new-method (copy-tree (cdr scp-method)))
(login-args (assoc 'tramp-login-args new-method))
(copy-args (assoc 'tramp-copy-args new-method)))
(setf (cadr login-args)
`(,@my-scp-extra-args ,@(cadr login-args))
(cadr copy-args)
`(,@my-scp-extra-args ,@(cadr copy-args)))
(push `("myscp" . ,new-method) tramp-methods))
Then set the default method for remote_server to "myscp".
